WordPress, engineered
WordPress runs around two in five websites, which is precisely why it is so often run badly: a theme from a marketplace, a stack of plugins nobody vetted, a shared host, and no one responsible when it breaks. We build WordPress the way we build everything else — a custom theme to WCAG 2.1 AA, plugins written for the purpose, a hardened host we configure by automation, and a retainer that keeps it patched, monitored and backed up — and we have done it for healthcare, research and government organizations for over a decade.
Accessible by construction, and kept that way
An accessible WordPress site is not a plugin. It is a theme whose blocks and patterns are accessible before an editor touches them, a media workflow that asks for alternative text, forms that name their fields and explain their errors, and a monitor that notices when the next plugin update quietly breaks something. That last part is what most agencies leave out, and it is why we built ACHECKS. If your obligation is Ontario’s, the accessibility practice covers the audit, the remediation and the conformance report; the WordPress work is where the standard gets built in rather than bolted on.
Hardened, because it has to be
WordPress is the most attacked software on the web, and most of the attacks succeed against configuration, not code. Our stack gives every site its own jail and its own PHP pool, so a compromised plugin on one site cannot read another; puts nginx in front with rate-limited logins, security headers and HTTP/3; and backs everything up on a schedule with restores that have been rehearsed. We published the whole configuration as a guide, because a client should be able to see what they are paying for.
