<h3>Advance settings for website developers</h3>
FONT SIZE:
<h3></h3>
changing the font size intenially doesn’t affect the tag
HIGHLIGHT_LINKS:
<h3></h3>
toggles the class ‘coolaxs_highlight_links’ in all the header tags ( “:focusable,a” )

 coolaxs_focus_css_activated
Keyboard Navigation Skip Menu:
<h3></h3>
the “skip to page content” message with fixed position is added to the top of the page 
with a css z-index:99 (because the zoom-text magnify glass of the cool-accessibility plug-in should be on top of that) 
 if there is a
<
nav> tag in the page
so this means that if there is a fixed header on the top of the page its z-index should be less than 99
PREVENT ANIMATION:
<h3></h3>
1. 
 // the following suffix should be at every animated gif or static so javascript could toggle between them automatically 
 var str_normal_image = “_static.gif”; 
 var str_animated_gif_image = “_animated.gif”;
2.
the plug in also toggles between these 2 embeded video autoplay modes 
so the video will not autoplay upon page load
embeded video
<
iframe src=”…?autoplay=1″> 
embeded video
<
iframe src=”…?autoplay=0″>
3. 
if there is an automatic loop flexslider it stops it:
BRIGHT / DARK CONTRAST
<h3></h3>
1. 
the plug in adds the following classes so you can further modify your css file: 
coolaxs_bright_contrast 
coolaxs_dark_contrast
2. 
there is also an automatic image / background image flipping mode if you prefer by the suffix of the image name
2a. 
if you have 3 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast 3. for bright contrast
add to your normal contrast image / background image the following suffix: “_normal_to_both” 
so your image name becomes: 
 imagename_normal_to_both.jpg 
 (or imagename_normal_to_both.png or imagename_normal_to_both.gif)
and provide in the same directory 2 more images (assuming a jpg image type) 
imagename_bright_contrast.jpg 
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg
2b. 
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast 
and for bright contrast you use the normal contrast image 
then modify your original image / background image to this: 
imagename_normal_to_dark.jpg 
 (or imagename_normal_to_dark.png or imagename_normal_to_dark.gif)
and provide in the same directory 1 more image (assuming a jpg image type) 
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg
2c. 
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for bright contrast 
and for dark contrast you use the normal contrast image 
then modify your original image / background image to this: 
imagename_normal_to_bright.jpg 
 (or imagename_normal_to_bright.png or imagename_normal_to_bright.gif)

imagename_bright_contrast.jpg

<h3>Meet legal requirements under the ADA and win more business</h3>
Ensuring that your WordPress website is accessible to all visitors, including individuals with disabilities, is critical for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, adjusting your website so that it is accessible is a moral and ethical imperative. There is also the matter of meeting legal obligations, under laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
But it’s important to realize that making your WordPress accessible and ADA-compliant greatly impacts its business potential.
An accessible website allows you to appeal to a new audience base (<a href="https://www.thevaluable500.com/press-release/the-valuable-500-releases-new-data-on-global-accessibility-awareness-day#:~:text=Disability%20is%20not%20a%20minority,when%20including%20friends%20and%20family." rel="nofollow ugc">which commands trillions in annual expendable income</a>), as well as to enhance your brand reputation.
<h3>How accessWidget Helps</h3>
With accessWidget, accessiBe’s accessibility plugin for ADA compliance, your website is adjusted so that it welcomes all visitors, including those with disabilities.
accessWidget leverages the power of AI to run an automated audit of your website to identify and remediate accessibility issues existing on a code level. This results in your website being compatible with assistive technology like screen readers, and fully navigable via keyboard.
accessWidget is quick and easy to install, and automatically scans and remediates inaccessible elements on your website every 24 hours, ensuring ongoing accessibility, without touching your source code.
<h3>Give website visitors a customized user experience</h3>
accessWidget will also present website visitors with an accessibility interface, through which they can adjust design elements to better fit their needs.
With accessWidget, website visitors can increase font size and change font types, adjust color contrasts, and stop animations, among many other options.
You can explore the accessWidget plugin with a 7-day free trial; no credit card required.

Web Accessibility by accessiBe

I've tried a lot of plugins, and this is without any doubt the best of them. Great performance, high level customization, and some of the best customer service I have encountered. Highly recommended.

GREAT plugin!


I didn't see a previous review from months ago warning that this plugin does not have something "free", which - no matter what the author may say to camouflage the idea - it should be very clear that they are promoting/providing a plugin simply to connect to a paid service.


The only free thing is the plugin installation


I've been told by a user of one of the websites I had to manage that the widget is adding a layer of complexity for screenreader users. After some research, I saw that even their Wikipedia page talks about legal issues and lawsuits, and I don't want that for my clients.



Honestly, I'm surprised this company is still selling their solution. As I know, there is no shortcut in accessibility. It's like telling you client you can install a widget that fixes all their UX issues. How in the wolrd?


Added accessibility issues instead of solving them - Risks of lawsuits?
