Accessibility Enabler

How to integrate Accessibility Enabler with Webflow

Accessibility widgets help visitors with disabilities adjust the presentation of your site. Users modify text size, contrast, keyboard navigation, and language settings without requiring you to rebuild pages. The overlay approach means the underlying HTML structure remains intact while surface-level adjustments happen client-side in the visitor's browser.

Note that accessibility overlays assist with visual and text customization but cannot fix structural accessibility issues like missing form labels, improper heading hierarchy, or absent alt text. You still need proper semantic HTML and ARIA attributes for full accessibility compliance.

The two ways to integrate it with Webflow are to use the marketplace app on Webflow or embedding code.

Use the Accessibility Enabler app

The Webflow app marketplace provides single-click installation without manual code editing. After authorization, the accessibility widget appears on your published site with all 30+ tools active. You configure widget appearance, placement, and branding through the Accessibility Enabler dashboard.

This method works for all Webflow plans and requires three permissions: read and write access to custom code, access to site data, and publishing capabilities.

The marketplace installation includes:

• Pre-set accessibility profiles for dyslexia-friendly reading, readable text, and low vision modes that visitors activate with one click  
• Navigation tools for skip-to-content functionality, virtual keyboard input, and highlighting links and interactive elements  
• Text customization for font selection, size adjustment, spacing controls, and built-in text-to-speech readers  
• Visual adjustments for color contrast, dark mode, zoom controls, and image alt text display  
• Cognitive support for vocabulary simplification, content adjustments, and page translation across 105 languages  
• Branding controls for toolbar colors, trigger button placement, accessibility statements, and compliance badges

Embed the JavaScript snippet manually via custom code

Manual installation through Webflow's custom code settings provides direct control over script placement without using the app marketplace. You receive a JavaScript snippet during Accessibility Enabler registration and paste it into the Head Code section of your site settings. The script uses async loading to prevent render blocking.

The manual installation provides:

• Direct script control for placement in the Head Code section before the </head> tag  
• Full functionality with all 30+ accessibility tools active after publishing  
• Async loading to minimize impact on page rendering performance  
• Independent configuration through the Accessibility Enabler dashboard for widget appearance and branding

The installation steps include the following:

1. Create an account at Accessibility Enabler registration to receive your unique script  
2. Open your Webflow dashboard and navigate to Settings  
3. Select Custom Code from the left menu  
4. Paste the complete script into the Head Code section (not Footer Code)  
5. Click Save Changes, then Publish

The script placement in the Head Code section is critical, as an incorrect placement in the Footer Code triggers a red installation warning bar. Test in an incognito window after publishing to verify the accessibility icon appears on the right side of your page.

Here are ways to troubleshoot some common installation issues:

If the widget doesn't appear after publishing, check these items documented in the troubleshooting guide:

• Verify script placement in Head Code rather than Footer Code  
• Confirm that both the Save Changes and Publish buttons were clicked  
• Clear browser cache and test in a private browsing window  
• Check that the complete script, including <script> tags was copied  
• Look for a red installation warning bar in your Accessibility Enabler dashboard

What you can build

Add visitor-facing accessibility tools to any Webflow page while controlling widget appearance, positioning, and branding. Note that the overlay handles visual and text adjustments but cannot fix structural accessibility issues.

• Multilingual content hubs: Resource centers where visitors access content in 105 languages with adjustable text size, contrast, and zoom. Content stays in your Webflow CMS while the overlay provides customization.  
• Accessibility preference controls: Visitor interfaces for font, spacing, and contrast settings that persist across sessions. Stores preferences without collecting personal data (GDPR compliant) with pre-set profiles for dyslexia, low vision, and cognitive support.  
• Marketing landing pages: Campaign pages with accessibility profiles for dyslexia or low vision users. Full WCAG compliance still requires proper semantic HTML and ARIA attributes.  
• E-commerce pages: Product pages with text size adjustment and high contrast modes. The checkout form's accessibility requires proper form labels and ARIA attributes, which the overlay cannot provide.
