Accessibility Widget

Accessibility Widget adds a floating toolbar to your website frontend that allows visitors to customize their viewing experience for better readability and accessibility. Users can adjust font sizes, toggle high contrast mode, highlight links, change line spacing, and enable a reading guide that follows their cursor. The widget respects user preferences and saves settings in browser storage so visitors do not need to reconfigure on each visit. This helps websites meet WCAG accessibility guidelines and accommodates users with visual impairments, dyslexia, or other conditions that affect reading. The widget is fully customizable in terms of position, colors, and which features to enable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this make my site fully WCAG compliant?

The widget helps with several WCAG criteria around text resizing and contrast, but full compliance requires proper heading structure, alt text, keyboard navigation, and other factors. This is one piece of an accessibility strategy.

Can I customize which features appear in the widget?

Yes, you can enable or disable individual features like font sizing, contrast modes, link highlighting, and the reading guide. You can also position the widget on any corner of the screen.

Will this slow down my site?

The widget is lightweight and loads asynchronously. It adds minimal overhead and only applies style changes when users interact with it.
