Ensuring Accessibility with accessWidget: A Helpful Tool, Not a Magic Fix

An accessible website lets people with disabilities find what they need and get in touch with you, just like everyone else. It’s good for your customers, good for your reputation, and something more and more businesses are expected to take seriously. At BlendWorks Digital Marketing, we understand the importance of web accessibility for businesses. Here’s the honest truth: no single plug-in can make a website 100% accessible or legally bulletproof. Accessibility is ongoing work. I’ll help you understand where your site stands, put helpful tools like accessWidget in place, and fix the issues that matter most so more people can actually use your site.

AI-Powered Web Accessibility

How accessWidget Works

accessWidget is designed to help address common accessibility issues measured against standards like WCAG 2.1. Automated tools can’t catch everything, so I recommend pairing it with a manual review. The process is seamless:

1

We add our installation code to your website.

2

AccessWidget instantly appears on your website.

3

The AI starts scanning and analyzing your website.

4

The AI fixes inaccessible code on your website.

5

Every 24 hours, the tool re-scans your site for new content.

AccessWidget goes the extra mile by adding accurate alt text to images and making clickable elements accessible to blind users.
