Built by the team at Awesome Motive โ€” whose WordPress software is trusted on 30,000,000+ websites.

The overlay problem

An accessibility widget won't protect you. It might get you sued.

Overlay widgets promise compliance from one line of JavaScript. The FTC, the courts, and the accessibility community all disagree.

A $1,000,000 FTC settlement

The FTC fined accessiBe โ€” the biggest overlay vendor โ€” $1 million for claiming its widget could make websites compliant. It can't. Read the full story โ†’

Lawsuits target overlay users

Hundreds of businesses sued over web accessibility each year were already running an overlay when the complaint arrived. The widget didn't stop the lawsuit โ€” it flagged the site.

Your HTML stays broken

Overlays paint a layer of JavaScript over your site. The broken code underneath is exactly what screen readers, testers, and expert witnesses examine.

What you get

Everything you need to find, fix, and prove it

One dashboard and one lightweight WordPress plugin. No agencies, no $10,000 audits, no scripts layered over broken pages.

Legal-risk-weighted checks

Every page checked against 100+ WCAG rules, with problems ranked by real-world lawsuit risk โ€” so you fix what matters first.

One-click fixes at the source

Approve a fix and our plugin applies it in your site's real HTML โ€” colors, labels, button names, landmarks. Nothing painted on top.

Live verification

After every fix, we re-check the live page and show the before and after. Fixes that could backfire get caught, not shipped.

AI alt textNew

Plain-language image descriptions written back into your media library โ€” they stay even if you remove the plugin.

Builder rule packs

Purpose-built fixes for Elementor, SeedProd, Divi and popular themes โ€” safe because we know exactly what markup they produce.

Accessibility statement

A statement generated from your actual scan data and published with one shortcode โ€” never copy-pasted boilerplate you can't back up.

Guided manual checklist

The 16 checks automation can't do โ€” keyboard, captions, forms โ€” explained in plain English and tracked with your scan results.

Evidence packs

A dated, printable record of every scan, fix, verification, and review. If a complaint ever lands, you can show the work.

Monitoring & alerts

Scheduled re-checks catch problems introduced by content updates and plugin changes โ€” before anyone else notices them.

Why site owners choose EqualSites

Three promises overlays can't make

Fixes that survive

Overlay โ€œfixesโ€ vanish the second the script is removed. EqualSites writes fixes into your site itself โ€” AI alt text goes straight into your WordPress media library, where it belongs.

  • Applied in your real HTML, server-side
  • Alt text written back to the media library
  • Remove the plugin and your fixes remain

Every fix verified on your live pages

A fix that looks right in theory can backfire in practice โ€” we've caught color fixes that created brand-new problems. That's why every change is re-tested on the live page before we call it done.

  • Before-and-after result for every fix
  • Backfiring fixes caught automatically
  • Verification runs saved to your evidence pack

Proof, not promises

Nobody can honestly promise โ€œinstant complianceโ€ โ€” the FTC made that expensive. What we give you instead is what actually helps: a statement backed by real data and a dated record of continuous effort.

โ€œI'd been quoted $6,000 for an accessibility audit that would have told me what's broken โ€” not fixed anything. EqualSites found 40 problems and fixed most of them the same afternoon.โ€

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is EqualSites an accessibility overlay?

No โ€” it's the opposite. Overlays inject JavaScript that repaints your pages in the visitor's browser while the underlying code stays broken. EqualSites changes your site's actual HTML on the server, verifies the result on the live page, and keeps a record. Remove an overlay and everything reverts; remove EqualSites and fixes like alt text remain, because they were written into your content.

Will EqualSites make my site ADA or EAA compliant?

No tool can honestly promise that, and you should be suspicious of any that does โ€” the FTC fined the largest overlay vendor $1 million for exactly that claim. What EqualSites does: finds problems, fixes what can be fixed safely, verifies fixes on your live pages, guides you through the checks that need a human, and produces the statement and evidence that demonstrate ongoing, good-faith effort โ€” which is what matters if a complaint ever lands.

Will it slow down my website?

No. Scanning happens on our servers, not yours. The WordPress plugin applies approved fixes as your pages are generated โ€” a few milliseconds of server-side work, with no extra JavaScript sent to your visitors. That's another difference from overlays, which load a third-party script on every page view.

Do I need to know anything about accessibility or code?

No. Every problem and every fix is explained in plain English โ€” โ€œthis text is too light to read,โ€ not a WCAG criterion number. You review and approve; the plugin does the applying. If you work with a developer, each fix can also produce technical instructions to hand off.

What happens when I remove the plugin?

Fixes written into your content โ€” like AI-generated alt text saved to your media library โ€” stay forever. Render-time fixes (colors, labels applied as pages are served) stop with the plugin, and your dashboard keeps the full record of what was fixed so nothing is lost.

Which page builders and themes does it work with?

Any WordPress site works out of the box. On top of that, builder rule packs add higher-confidence fixes for sites built with Elementor, SeedProd, Divi, and popular themes โ€” because knowing which tool generated the markup lets us fix structural problems generic scanners won't touch.

Why does accessibility suddenly matter so much?

Two reasons: US courts see thousands of ADA website lawsuits every year, and the European Accessibility Act became enforceable in June 2025 โ€” it applies to many businesses that sell to EU customers, wherever the business is based. The cost of doing nothing has changed.

Is there really a free plan?

Yes. The free plan checks 5 pages monthly, shows you every problem with your score, and includes the accessibility statement and guided checklist. Paid plans add the fixing: one-click fixes, live verification, AI alt text, and evidence packs. No credit card required to start.
