A11y Buttons vs Web Accessibility (formally known as Ally) – WCAG Scanning, Guided Fixes, Usability Widget

This plugin enables an A11Y Buttons block, which contains some common accessibility buttons that you usually find in a website’s top header. The idea is to provide a simple way to have them inserted in any part of your theme, without adding overlays and keep them fully customizable so they can match your design and still offer the required features. The buttons available are: Skip-to-content button – Add a link to any anchored part of your website. You can create and set as many as you want; Contrast mode toggle – Enable a stylesheet with extremely high contrast; Readable font toggle – Forces usage of the Atkinson Hyperlegible Font for better readability; Increase/decrease/restore font-size – Change your website’s root font size. Check the F.A.Q. section about its usage. All of the buttons have the following features: Order, alignment, spacing and overall layout are fully customizable; Text formatting, font size, text and background color, borders – if the theme supports it; Enabling or disabling the default icons, moving them to the left or right, We understand that accessibility is a huge topic and that no solution is perfect. We also are by no means “experts” on the subject, so if you have any critics or suggestions, please make contact! Want to contribute? Great! Feel free to open an issue or make a pull request.

Web Accessibility (formally known as Ally) is a free, powerful, and user-friendly plugin that helps WordPress creators build more accessible websites with ease. It simplifies accessibility with three essential tools: Accessibility Assistant – 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. Usability widget – 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. Accessibility statement generator – Create a fully customized accessibility statement and publish it automatically on your site, helping meet WCAG and legal requirements. No expertise required – Just activate, configure, and start making your site more inclusive today. Built by Elementor and designed for every WordPress site. Why does web accessibility matter? Who Needs It? Every website owner, for businesses, creators, and agencies. Who is Responsible? 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. Why Now? Rising legal requirements (WCAG, EAA) and better user experience. Why Should You Care? 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. It’s the Law 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. The Web Accessibility 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. 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.
