Accessify: AI-Powered Accessibility Widget for Joomla! | ADA & WCAG 2.1 Compliance
Redefine Accessibility for Your Joomla! Site
Creating a website with Joomla! gives you flexibility and power, but accessibility shouldn’t be an afterthought. Many users depend on assistive technology, keyboard-only navigation, or high-contrast visuals to interact online. If those needs aren’t met, you risk excluding visitors, harming engagement, and missing out on SEO benefits.
With Accessify, your Joomla! site is transformed into a truly user-centric experience. It combines intuitive visitor controls with intelligent backend tools so everyone, regardless of ability, can browse, interact, and engage with your content comfortably.

Accessify is crafted to integrate seamlessly into Joomla!. It doesn’t simply add a toolbar, it embeds an accessible layer that learns and adapts. It works behind the scenes to detect structural issues, while the front-end widget gives visitors control.
