Accessibility Widget

EComposer’s Accessibility Widget helps make your online store more comfortable and accessible for a wider range of visitors. It allows visitors to customize how they view and interact with your store based on their individual needs.

With this widget, visitors can adjust text display, colors, contrast, cursor size, animations, navigation, and other accessibility settings. You can also customize the widget’s appearance, position, language, and available features directly in EComposer.

Note: The Accessibility Widget helps improve your store’s accessibility but does not guarantee full ADA or WCAG compliance.
