Accessibility Enabler

How to integrate Accessibility Enabler with Webflow

Visitors with disabilities need tools to adjust your site's presentation to their specific needs. Accessibility widgets let users modify text size, contrast, keyboard navigation, and language settings without requiring you to rebuild pages. The widget makes surface-level adjustments in the visitor's browser while your underlying HTML structure remains intact.

Install Accessibility Enabler through Webflow's app marketplace with one-click setup, or embed the JavaScript snippet manually in your site's custom code section. Both methods load the widget asynchronously.

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 with Webflow's Basic, CMS, Business, and Enterprise site plans. The free Starter plan does not support custom code and cannot use this integration. The app requires three permissions to function: ability to read and write custom code, access to site data, and publishing capabilities. The app handles script injection automatically through the Webflow App Marketplace, or users can manually paste a JavaScript snippet into the Head Code section.

The marketplace installation provides the following features:

• Pre-set accessibility profiles including dyslexia-friendly, readable text, and low vision modes that visitors activate with one click
• Navigation tools with skip-to-content functionality, virtual keyboard, and highlight options for links and interactive elements
• Text customization through font selection, size adjustment, spacing controls, and built-in text-to-speech readers
• Visual adjustments including color contrast tools, dark mode, zoom controls, and image alt text display
• Cognitive support with vocabulary simplification, content adjustments, and page translation across 105 languages
• Branding controls to configure toolbar colors, trigger button placement, accessibility statements, and widget 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. This method requires basic copy-paste functionality and works identically to the marketplace installation once deployed.

Manual installation includes the following steps and features:

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

Installation steps for manual setup:

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

According to the HikeOrders Installation Guide, script placement in the Head Code section is critical. Incorrect placement in 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 some common installation issues:

• Verify script placement in Head Code rather than Footer Code
• Confirm both 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

For preview testing in Webflow, configure your script's allowed domains using Webflow's custom code preview mode documentation.

What you can build

Integrating Accessibility Enabler with Webflow lets you add accessibility adjustment tools to any page type while maintaining control over the widget's appearance, including color themes, trigger button positioning, and branding elements.

• Marketing landing pages with accessibility tools: Deploy campaign pages with built-in accessibility profiles for users with dyslexia, low vision, or motor impairments while you control trigger button placement and toolbar color themes
• Multilingual content hubs: Create resource centers and documentation sites where international visitors access content in 105 languages through automatic page translation while adjusting accessibility settings for simplified reading, with content staying in your Webflow CMS while the accessibility overlay provides 30+ customization tools including text readers, contrast adjustments, and zoom capabilities
• Product pages with visitor preferences: Build product showcases where visitors adjust font choices, spacing, and contrast settings that persist across sessions, with the widget providing pre-set profiles for dyslexia, low vision, and cognitive support
• E-commerce sites with accessibility adjustments: Add the widget to product pages where visitors adjust text size, enable screen reader settings, and activate high contrast modes during browsing, with keyboard navigation and voice control tools available while you maintain brand consistency through customizable widget colors
