Accessibly ADA Plug-In
Accessibly is a user-friendly **accessibility widget** (also called an overlay tool) that helps make your website more inclusive and usable for people with disabilities. It adds a customizable floating button (usually in the corner of the screen) that visitors can click to access a menu of accessibility options tailored to their needs.
Key Features and Benefits
Accessibly provides over 20 built-in tools designed to address common accessibility barriers, including:- Text and Display Adjustments — Bigger text (up to 200% enlargement), larger cursor, readable fonts (e.g., converting text to clean options like Helvetica), increased line spacing, and reading lines or tooltips for easier following.
- Color and Contrast Controls — Adjust brightness, contrast, grayscale, inverted colors, or high-contrast modes to help users with low vision or color blindness.
- Navigation and Focus Aids — Highlight links, bigger cursor, keyboard navigation enhancements, and screen reader compatibility.
- Content Management — Hide images (for users who find them distracting), auto-generate alt text for images where possible, and other visual simplifications.
- Audio Support — Text-to-speech (voice reading) functionality that reads page content aloud for users who prefer or need auditory access.
- Mobile-Friendly — Works seamlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops.
How it Supports Compliance
Accessibly is built to help websites align with key accessibility standards, including:- WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) — Assists with many requirements for perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content.
- ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) — Supports Title III obligations for public-facing websites by providing user-facing accommodations.
- Other standards like **Section 508** and **EN 301549**.
