Accessibility Toolkit works with most themes and builders like Elementor, WPBakery, and Block Editor. Some deeply customised elements may require manual integration. Will Accessibility Toolkit make my website fully compliant with accessibility laws? Accessibility Toolkit is designed to help your website align with key accessibility standards such as WCAG, ADA, EAA, and EN 301 549. While it significantly improves accessibility and supports compliance efforts, it does not guarantee full legal compliance on its own. For complete compliance, a thorough accessibility audit and manual remediation may still be necessary. Does the plugin modify the site’s content? No. It enhances existing markup with JavaScript and hooks, keeping your database content unchanged unless you choose to apply permanent fixes.

Accessibility Toolkit helps resolve common issues like missing form labels, poor keyboard navigation, unreadable link contrast, incorrect heading structure, and lack of skip-to-content options—making your site easier to use for people with disabilities.

No. Accessibility Toolkit works out of the box with default settings, and you can enable or disable features with simple toggles in the admin panel—no coding required. Does the plugin work with screen readers? Yes. Accessibility Toolkit improves semantic structure and ARIA attributes so your content can be properly interpreted by screen readers like NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. Can Accessibility Toolkit fix all accessibility issues automatically? While Accessibility Toolkit automates many fixes, some issues still require manual review, such as writing meaningful alt text or structuring content. Think of it as a powerful toolkit—not a one-click solution. Will it slow down my website? No. Accessibility Toolkit is lightweight and optimised for performance. It runs efficiently alongside your existing plugins and themes. == Screenshots == 1.
