Section 1557 takes effect
May 11, 2027.
Is your site ready?
HHS-funded health centers must meet WCAG 2.1 AA — or risk federal funding. A11yAgen scans your WordPress site, generates HTML fixes your team reviews and approves, and keeps an immutable audit trail of every decision.
No signup. WCAG 2.1 AA · Section 508 · ADA — in 30 seconds.
The Section 1557 deadline is real — and most health centers haven't started.
The HHS web accessibility rule isn't a lawsuit risk you might dodge. It's a dated federal requirement with funding attached.
A federal deadline, not a maybe.
The HHS Section 1557 rule requires HHS-funded organizations with 15 or more employees to meet WCAG 2.1 AA by May 11, 2027. The penalty for non-compliance is loss of federal funding — existential for a health center.
Manual audits go stale.
A consultancy audit costs $5,000–$25,000 per site and is out of date within weeks. Your site changes constantly — new providers, new locations, new content. A point-in-time audit can't keep up with a continuous obligation.
Overlays fail a compliance review.
JavaScript accessibility overlays have been rejected by courts and accessibility advocates — they don't constitute compliance. Under a federal mandate, you need real HTML fixes and a record of them.
You need a way to reach WCAG 2.1 AA, stay there as your site changes, and prove it when someone asks.
Reach WCAG 2.1 AA. Stay there. Prove it.
A11yAgen is built for organizations under a compliance mandate. Find every WCAG 2.1 AA issue, generate real HTML fixes your team approves, and keep the audit trail. No overlay. No guesswork.

A single accessibility audit from a consultancy runs $5,000–$25,000 per site — and goes stale within weeks. A11yAgen Pro is continuous compliance and a living audit trail for a fraction of that. With Section 1557 funding on the line, the math isn't close.
Questions, answered.
Does A11yAgen satisfy the HHS Section 1557 requirement?
A11yAgen scans against WCAG 2.1 AA — the exact standard named in the HHS Section 1557 web accessibility rule — generates HTML fixes your team reviews and approves, and logs every action to an immutable audit trail. It gives you the remediation path and the documentation a compliance review needs. It is a tool, not a legal certification; the final compliance determination is yours.
How is A11yAgen different from accessibility overlay widgets?
A11yAgen suggests real HTML changes that you review and approve before anything is modified. Overlays inject JavaScript that manipulates the DOM at runtime and have been rejected by courts and accessibility advocates. Our approved fixes persist in your post content or apply at the server level — no client-side workarounds, and nothing changes without your explicit sign-off.
What accessibility standards do you support?
WCAG 2.1 Level A, AA, and AAA; Section 508 (U.S. federal); ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act); and EN 301 549 (European ICT standard). You can scan against any standard and switch anytime.
Do I have to accept every AI-generated fix?
No. Every fix is a suggestion. You review a side-by-side diff showing the original HTML and proposed fix, with an explanation of what changed and why. You can approve, reject, or request changes with feedback that the AI incorporates into a revision.
Will the fixes break my site?
No fix is ever applied without your explicit approval. Every suggestion is sanitized through WordPress's built-in content security before it can reach your site. You review every proposed change first. If you reject a suggestion, nothing happens. Every AI proposal and every human decision — approve, reject, or revise — is logged to an immutable audit trail.
Why does Pro cost $500/month?
Continuous compliance monitoring replaces recurring consultancy audits that cost $5,000–$25,000 each — and go stale within weeks. The AI analyzes your entire site and generates fix suggestions across every page, your team reviews and approves them, and every action is logged to an immutable audit trail. With Section 1557 federal funding on the line, the math isn't close.
Can I scan my site for free?
Yes. The free tier includes full scanning with 42+ server-side WCAG rules and live in-browser checks, compliance reports, scores, and grades. You get 5 scans per day at no cost. AI-powered fix suggestions and monitoring require Pro.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
Fixes you previously approved and applied to your post content are permanent — they're part of your WordPress content now. Runtime fixes (output buffer) will stop applying. Your scan history, reports, and full audit trail remain accessible on the free tier.
What is "a11y"?
A11y is a numeronym for "accessibility" — the "a", 11 middle letters, and "y". It's the standard shorthand used by the web accessibility community. A11yAgen is your AI agent for accessibility compliance.
