Description
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!
