  • Letter and word spacing
  • Invert colors and high contrast
  • Saturation adjustment
  • Highlight and boxed links
  • Dyslexia friendly font

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Widewalk – Accessibility Toolbar

No, and treat anything that says otherwise with suspicion. Conformance rests on your own markup: headings, alt text, contrast, link text, forms, error messages. Widewalk helps a visitor read what you have written. It cannot repair what sits underneath. Use it alongside the real work.
No. An overlay scans your page and rewrites it for every visitor, usually with a promise of automatic compliance attached. Widewalk changes nothing until a visitor asks it to, changes it only for that visitor, and promises nothing about your legal position.
Yes. Plenty of sites keep WordPress for the admin and build their public pages in plain PHP, in React, or as static files. Nothing on those pages runs a WordPress footer, so add one line to your own: <script src="/wp-content/plugins/widewalk/assets/embed.js" defer></script> That is the whole integration. It reads the settings you chose in the admin and mounts the same panel, with the same controls. Settings has the line ready to copy, and a box where you can give it one of your own pages. It will fetch that page and tell you whether the line arrived, so you
Yes. The panel lives inside a shadow root, so your theme's rules do not reach it and its rules do not escape into your pages. It has been tested against popular themes and against a stylesheet built on purpose to wreck it. Block themes, classic themes and page builders are all fine.
Everything a visitor downloads comes to roughly 7 KB gzipped: one stylesheet, one small script, no framework, no jQuery. With the panel switched off, nothing is added to your pages at all.
Nothing. No tracking, no analytics, no account, no cookie. Preferences are held in local storage in the visitor's own browser. Nothing about a visitor is read, kept or sent, and that does not change if you connect the site: the note that travels then is about the site, never about anyone reading it.
There is nothing about your visitors to disclose: nothing is collected about them, nothing is stored and nothing is shared. Preferences never leave their device. If you connect the site, what travels is your own site address and a count of findings, which is yours to decide on and yours to undo.
Yes. All twelve have their own switch. Offer what suits your site and leave the rest off.
If you are offering a panel like this, you should say what you are aiming for,
Public bodies in many countries are required to publish one. Widewalk writes the page in two lengths and links the panel to it.
