<p>I created this plugin to make external text links more accessible to people with disabilities by displaying an image with an alternative that informs the user that the link will open in a new window. Thanks to Romain Gervois.</p>

<p>AccessiYes Accessibility Widget is a free, lightweight, and user-friendly plugin that adds an accessibility overlay to your WordPress website.</p>
<p>The accessibility widget provides tools to help your site better align with accessibility standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA, as well as accessibility laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).</p>
<p>With just a few clicks, your website visitors can customise font size, color contrast, spacing, and more to create a browsing experience that fits their accessibility needs.</p>
<p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong></p>
<p>AccessiYes Accessibility Widget is intended to support your accessibility efforts. It does not guarantee conformance with WCAG or compliance with laws such as the ADA, EAA, or other regulations. Full compliance may still require a comprehensive audit and remediation.</p>
<h3>Why accessibility matters</h3>
<p>Over 1 billion people globally live with some form of disability. This makes web accessibility essential to ensure your content is usable for everyone, including those with visual, cognitive, motor, and neurological impairments.</p>
<p>With WordPress powering over 43% of all websites in 2026, improving accessibility on WordPress sites can make a big difference in creating a more inclusive web.</p>
<p>AccessiYes Accessibility Widget helps you take a step in that direction by giving visitors simple tools to adjust how your WordPress website looks and behaves based on their needs.</p>
