Description

accessWidget, accessiBe’s leading AI-powered web accessibility solution, helps make your website accessible and ADA compliant based on WCAG, allowing you to generate more business and traffic.

You can explore accessWidget with a 7-day free trial; no credit card required.

Meet legal requirements under the ADA and win more business

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 (which commands trillions in annual expendable income), as well as to enhance your brand reputation.

How accessWidget Helps

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.

Give website visitors a customized user experience

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.

GREAT plugin!

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.

The only free thing is the plugin installation

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.

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

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?
