Web Accessibility for the Mobility Impaired

Try abandoning your mouse for a couple of days and see what the experience is like navigating your company’s site.

The plugin creates a simpler and more accessible browsing experience for users with mobility issues as well. Millions of people cannot use a mouse or other pointing device and rely solely on their keyboard to navigate websites. Your site should be fully navigable using a keyboard’s tab key, arrow keys, the enter key and the spacebar.

The widget will make smart modifications to elements on your site that we identify as potentially non-compliant or that may prevent keyboard-only navigation. And we do it all without requiring you or your developers to make costly adjustments to your website’s existing codebase.

Web Accessibility for the Blind

Blind and visually impaired people on your site can finally become more independent and better integrate with the online world, which they so intimately depend on for their daily lives. Accessibility guidelines empower disabled users to more effortlessly deal with everyday tasks while helping make their handicap a little less of an obstacle.

The plugin helps visually impaired and blind users have a more meaningful browsing experience on your website and thus a stronger connection with you and your business. While you’ll be more closely adhering to website accessibility standards as required by law, you may also enjoy increased ROI from providing a better experience to a broader user base.

Web Accessibility for the Elderly

With the accessibility plugin we help elderly users overcome any senses that may have softened or deteriorated over time by allowing them to adjust the text size on your site, by highlighting clickable areas so they don’t get lost among the other content, by increasing the size of the mouse pointer and by using higher contrast colors. We do all of this via an intuitive and easy-to-understand plugin that will be unobtrusive to any users who don’t actually require it.

Web Accessibility for Situational Disabilities

Have you ever had your pupils dilated for an eye exam, only to leave the doctors office and find the world painfully bright and blurry? Or maybe you’ve found yourself unable to type on the computer because you sprained your wrist?

These scenarios might just seem like temporary frustrations, but there’s actually a name for them – situational disabilities. Disabilities do not always have to be permanent or ongoing. Sometimes your environment or circumstances can create a temporary disability or impairment.

The plugin helps to make technology more accessible for everyone, no matter what their situation is or how long they anticipate it to continue. If you’re temporarily impaired, having easy-to-use modifications will give you more freedom and flexibility to adapt digital content to your needs.
