<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.

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?
