AccessYes Accessibility Widget is intended to support your accessibility efforts. It does not guarantee conformance with WCAG or compliance with laws such as the ADA, EAA, or other regulations. Full compliance may still require a comprehensive audit and remediation.
Why accessibility matters
Over 1 billion people globally live with some form of disability. This makes web accessibility essential to ensure your content is usable for everyone, including those with visual, cognitive, motor, and neurological impairments.
With WordPress powering over 43% of all websites in 2026, improving accessibility on WordPress sites can make a big difference in creating a more inclusive web.
AccessYes Accessibility Widget helps you take a step in that direction by giving visitors simple tools to adjust how your WordPress website looks and behaves based on their needs.
