What is an Accessibility Widget?

An accessibility widget is a simple yet powerful tool that allows users to adjust website settings according to their needs. It provides essential functions such as text resizing, contrast adjustments, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and other features designed to make your website more navigable for people with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments.

Key Features of the UserA11y Accessibility Widget

Our Accessibility Widget offers a range of customizable features designed to improve the usability and accessibility of your website:

• Text Resizing: Allows users to increase or decrease font sizes for better readability.
• Contrast & Color Adjustments: Provides high-contrast mode, grayscale, and customizable color options to accommodate users with visual impairments, such as color blindness or low vision.
• Keyboard Navigation: Enables users to navigate your website using only their keyboard, essential for those who have limited mobility or prefer non-mouse interaction.
• Screen Reader Compatibility: Ensures that all content is properly structured for screen readers, making your website accessible to visually impaired users.
• Pause Animations: Allows users to pause animations or moving content that may cause distractions or discomfort for those with certain cognitive conditions.
• Customizable Layouts: Tailor the look and functionality of the widget to match your website’s design and accessibility needs.

Benefits of Installing the UserA11y Accessibility Widget

Implementing our Accessibility Widget brings a host of benefits to your website:

1. Improved User Experience

Offering accessibility features directly on your website ensures that all users, regardless of their abilities, can easily navigate and interact with your content. This results in a better user experience, increased user satisfaction, and higher engagement.

2. Legal Compliance with ADA & EAA

Both the ADA in the U.S. and the EAA in Europe require businesses to ensure their digital platforms are accessible to people with disabilities. Installing our widget helps you meet these legal requirements and reduces the risk of legal action or fines for non-compliance.

3. Boosted SEO Performance

Web accessibility is closely tied to SEO. Search engines prioritize websites that offer a positive user experience, and accessibility features like improved navigation, readable text, and structured content can lead to higher search engine rankings. Our widget helps you boost your SEO performance by ensuring your site is optimized for all users, including those with disabilities.

4. Increased Audience Reach

By making your website accessible, you open your business to a wider audience, including people with disabilities who may have previously encountered barriers to accessing your content. With over 1 billion people globally living with some form of disability, ensuring your website is inclusive can significantly expand your customer base.
