Who it is for
Visitors who are blind or have low vision, who are deaf or hard of hearing, who navigate with a keyboard instead of a mouse, or who have seizure, attention or reading difficulties.

Built in, plus a partner for more.
We build WorkspaceCMS sites with accessibility in mind. For visitors who need more, our partner accessiBe adds an adjustments panel to your site, so people can change text size, contrast, motion and more to suit how they browse.

The short version
What website accessibility means for a small business.
An accessible website is one people with disabilities can read, navigate and use. It also tends to be clearer and easier for everyone else.
The ADA
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses open to the public to be accessible to people with disabilities. The Department of Justice has said this applies to websites too.
WCAG
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are the technical yardstick most people use. Level AA of WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 is the usual target: readable contrast, text descriptions for images, keyboard access, clear labels on forms.
What WorkspaceCMS does
Accessibility starts with how the site is built.
Your site is designed and built by our team, so the basics are taken care of from the start, and changes are made in the site itself rather than painted on top.
Built with accessibility in mind
We build your pages for you with real headings, lists, buttons and links in a sensible order, the structure screen readers and keyboards rely on.
Descripciones de imágenes (texto alternativo)
The Alt-Tag Manager shows every image on your site, with a filter for the ones missing a description. AI can draft them, and nothing goes live until you approve it.
See the Alt-Tag Manager →Readable by design
We choose type sizes and text colors with readability and contrast in mind, and we keep layouts working on phones and when visitors zoom in.
Fixes made by our team
Spot something a visitor cannot reach or read? Send a change request from your dashboard and we fix it in the site itself, on every plan.

accessWidget, from accessiBe.
accessiBe makes accessWidget, an accessibility adjustments panel that sits on your site. A visitor opens it and picks a profile or individual settings, and the page adapts for them. It installs on WorkspaceCMS sites and on most other platforms.
- Seizure-safe mode that stops flashing animations and lowers color intensity
- Vision-impaired mode with larger text and stronger contrast
- ADHD-friendly mode that reduces distractions and adds a reading mask
- Keyboard navigation that makes menus and buttons reachable with the Tab key
- Screen-reader adjustments for blind visitors
- Content scaling, a readable font, line and letter spacing, and highlighted links and titles
- Color adjustments: contrast, saturation and monochrome
- Tools to pause animations, mute sounds and follow a reading guide
This is a partner (referral) link. accessiBe bills you directly; it is not part of your WorkspaceCMS plan or bill.
A strong first layer, not the whole job. A widget helps visitors adjust what they see and hear. It does not by itself make a site conform to WCAG. Full conformance also takes an accessibility audit and fixes in the site’s code and content, which our team can make for you through change requests.

Preguntas frecuentesAccessibility questions,
Accessibility questions,
respondidas.
Does an accessibility widget make my site ADA compliant?
No widget, on its own, makes a website fully conform to WCAG or guarantees ADA compliance. A widget like accessWidget gives visitors tools to adjust the site to their needs, which is a real help and a strong first layer. Full conformance also takes an accessibility audit and fixes in the site's code and content.
Is my WorkspaceCMS site ADA compliant?
We build every site with accessibility in mind: clear structure, image descriptions and readable layouts. We do not certify sites as ADA compliant or WCAG conformant. If you need a formal conformance statement, you need an accessibility audit, and we can make the fixes it finds through your change requests.
Will this protect my business from an accessibility lawsuit?
Nobody can promise that, and we do not. We are not lawyers and this page is not legal advice. If you have received a demand letter or have legal questions, talk to an attorney who handles accessibility law.
Who bills me for accessWidget?
accessiBe does, directly. It is not part of your WorkspaceCMS plan and does not appear on your WorkspaceCMS bill. Pricing, trials and cancellation are set by accessiBe.
Why do you link to accessiBe?
accessiBe is our accessibility partner. Our link is a partner (referral) link, which means 1Digital may be credited when you sign up through it. It does not change the price you pay.
Does accessWidget work on a site that is not built with WorkspaceCMS?
Yes. accessWidget installs with a short line of code on most websites, including WordPress, Shopify, Wix and Squarespace. On a WorkspaceCMS site, ask our team and we will help you add it.
