Aldorock web apps

EAA Accessibility Toolkit

A display toolbar for visitors, a check of your pages for common WCAG 2.1 AA problems, and an accessibility statement draft you complete.

The app has three parts: a toolbar your visitors can use, an audit of your published pages, and a builder for your accessibility statement. A toolbar alone does not make a website accessible or compliant; fixing the problems the audit finds does most of the work.

Set it up

  1. Install the app. Its page opens in your dashboard under Apps > EAA Accessibility Toolkit.
  2. The toolbar is added to your site when you install the app. Refresh your live site: a round button appears in the bottom right corner. (If it does not, open the app's Toolbar tab once.)
  3. Under Toolbar choose the corner, the distance from the edge, the button color and which adjustments to offer. Click Save, then refresh your live site.

What visitors can change

Text size (up to 150 %), dark or light high contrast, a strong keyboard focus outline, link highlighting, an easy-to-read font with more spacing, and stopping animations. A visitor's choice is saved in their own browser only. Reset all returns the page to normal. The panel follows your site's language (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Swedish).

Check your pages

  1. Publish your site first: the audit reads the published pages listed in your site map.
  2. Open Audit and click Check my site. It takes about a second per page and changes nothing.
  3. Each problem shows the WCAG criterion, how many pages have it and how to fix it in the editor. Click Show the pages with problems to see where.
  4. Fix the problems in the editor, publish, and click Check again.

Wix leaves alt text empty when you have not entered any, which hides the image from screen readers; the audit lists such images as Images with empty alt text. Leave alt text empty only for pure decoration.

The audit finds problems in the page code. Colour contrast, keyboard use, captions and text in images need a person: they are listed under Check these yourself.

Write your accessibility statement

  1. Open Statement and add your business name and a contact e-mail.
  2. Choose how well the site meets WCAG 2.1 AA. It starts at Partially: choose Fully only after a person has checked every WCAG 2.1 AA criterion. The known problems are pre-selected from your last audit; list at least one for a partial statement.
  3. Click Copy text, add a new page called "Accessibility Statement" in the editor, paste the text into a text box and publish. Or click Download HTML to keep a copy.
  4. Copy the new page's address into Toolbar > Link to your accessibility statement and save. Visitors then find it in the toolbar.

The text is a draft: you are responsible for what it says. Review it before you publish it, and update it when you fix problems. The European Accessibility Act exempts micro-enterprises (fewer than 10 staff and at most 2 million EUR annual turnover or balance sheet) that provide services; national rules may add requirements, so check yours.
