<p>WelcomingWeb is a hosted (SaaS) accessibility widget. This plugin is the official WordPress connector that injects the WelcomingWeb widget onto your site without editing theme files.</p>
<p><strong>Account required:</strong> You need a WelcomingWeb account (a free plan/widget may be available) and a <strong>Widget ID</strong> to use this plugin. Without a Widget ID, the plugin does not load anything on the frontend.</p>
<p>After activation, go to:<br />
Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> WelcomingWeb</p>
<p>Features:<br />
* Enable/disable the widget at any time<br />
* Paste your Widget ID (UUID)<br />
* Choose embed mode:<br />
  – Script + data-widget-id attribute<br />
  – Script with ?wid= query parameter (GTM-style)<br />
* Choose load location:<br />
  – Head<br />
  – Footer</p>
<p>The widget script is loaded only on the frontend and only when:<br />
1) the plugin is enabled, and<br />
2) a valid Widget ID is provided.</p>
<h4>Service Notice (External Dependencies)</h4>
<p>This plugin is a connector for the WelcomingWeb service and loads a remote JavaScript file to render the widget. See “External Services” below for details.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external services operated by WelcomingWeb in order to provide the accessibility widget.</p>
<p>When enabled (and when a valid Widget ID is set), the plugin loads the WelcomingWeb widget script from:<br />
* https://cdn-01.welcomingweb.com/a11y-widget.bundle.js<br />
  – In “query” mode, the same script URL is used with <code>?wid=YOUR_WIDGET_ID</code><br />
  – In “data” mode, the script is loaded and the Widget ID is passed via the <code>data-widget-id</code> attribute</p>
<p>The loaded widget script may also communicate with WelcomingWeb APIs to:<br />
* Fetch widget configuration associated with your Widget ID<br />
* Provide widget functionality on the frontend<br />
* Store and retrieve accessibility preferences (for example, selected profiles/features)</p>
<p>API endpoint(s) used by the service:<br />
* https://api.welcomingweb.com/api/*</p>
<p>Third-party font service:<br />
When a visitor activates the dyslexia-friendly font option, the widget script loads the “Open-Dyslexic” font stylesheet from a third-party CDN (Fonts CDN, not operated by WelcomingWeb):<br />
* https://fonts.cdnfonts.com/css/open-dyslexic<br />
This request is made by the visitor’s browser only when that accessibility option is selected.</p>
<p>Data that may be processed by the WelcomingWeb service includes:<br />
* Technical data (e.g., IP address, browser/user agent, device information)<br />
* Usage data (e.g., interactions with the widget)<br />
* Accessibility preferences (e.g., selected profiles/features)</p>
<p>The plugin itself does not send analytics and does not transmit administrator personal data to WelcomingWeb; it only injects the widget and passes your Widget ID to the widget script when enabled.</p>

<p>Ally (formerly One Click Accessibility) is a free, powerful, and user-friendly plugin that helps WordPress creators build more accessible websites with ease.<br />
It simplifies accessibility with three essential tools:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ally Assistant</strong> – Scan your pages, detect accessibility violations, and follow guided steps to fix them. Make manual adjustments or apply AI-powered suggestions, and track your progress.</li>
<li><strong>Usability widget</strong> – Let visitors personalize their browsing experience with a floating accessibility menu. Features include font resizing, color contrast, image hiding, animation pausing, language selection, screen reader support, and more.</li>
<li><strong>Accessibility statement generator</strong> – Create a fully customized accessibility statement and publish it automatically on your site, helping meet WCAG and legal requirements.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>No expertise required</strong> -just activate, configure, and start making your site more inclusive today.Built by Elementor. Designed for every WordPress site. Ally is web accessibility—simplified.</p>
<h3>Why does web accessibility matter?</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Who Needs It?</strong> Every website owner—businesses, creators, and agencies.</li>
<li><strong>Who is Responsible?</strong> Website owners are legally and ethically responsible for accessibility. The web creator—who designs and builds the site—must implement and adjust accessibility features to ensure compliance with WCAG guidelines and provide an inclusive experience for all users.</li>
<li><strong>Why Now?</strong> Rising legal requirements (WCAG, EAA) and better user experience.</li>
<li><strong>Why Should You Care?</strong>  An accessible website isn’t just ethical; it’s good business. By prioritizing inclusivity, you improve user experience for everyone, boost your search engine rankings, and attract a wider audience.</li>
</ul>
<h3>It’s the Law</h3>
<p>As accessibility standards continue to evolve and become mandatory, it’s important to start making website adjustments to comply with fast-approaching global regulations. Among its other capabilities, this plugin lets you instantly generate your website’s Accessibility Statement, which is now mandatory in most locales.</p>
<p>The Ally plugin is not a substitute for a thorough accessibility audit and is NOT intended to completely make your website legally compliant. However, with it, you’re one step closer to making your website inclusive to more visitors, including those with visual, auditory or cognitive challenges.</p>
<p>Ensuring that your website complies with all applicable accessibility requirements is your responsibility. We recommend working with qualified accessibility professionals to help achieve full compliance.</p>

Ally – Web Accessibility & Usability

Clicking on greyscale makes the accessibility icon disappear without the ability to go back and uncheck the option. 
Did not check any other functions as this is enough reason for me to abandon this plugin. 

Greyscale bug


Installed it. It added a icon to the front page. The icon did nothing. No response when clicked, no errors in the console log.


Does nothing

A must have plugin


It used to be free, now you have to pay.  


Used to be great!


requires elementor accountSuch plugins do not ensure website accessibility. If you want an accessible website, you need to think about it when creating it. The very fact that Elementor's creators have something to do with this plugin is a big red flag.
