Website accessibility plugins provide accessibility accommodations to websites for visitors who might have an accessibility need. Retroactively fixing a website to accomodate for users with accessibility needs can be expensive and time-intensive. Website accessibility plugins allow website owners to add site features that support a user’s potential accessibility need(s) while they make more permanent changes to their website.
Website accessibility plugins, widgets, or toolbars can vary in the specific features they add. Some plugins aim to support one specific type of accessibility need, while others provide users with an array of tools to tailor their experience. Popular website accessibility plugins include those that change a website’s font (including style, color, or size), alter color palettes for colorblindness, and provide visual equivalents for auditory information.
To qualify for inclusion in the Website Accessibility Plugin category, a product must:
Provide an accessibility plugin, widget, or toolbar for a website
Add features to a website intended to support users with accessibility needs
Community software / plugin for SaaS company websites
