Site-wide overlay Planned

Reader preferences, on top of a site that is already accessible.

Every website Max builds meets WCAG 2.2 AA on its own. This toolbar is not a fix for that; it is a courtesy: a place for a visitor to make the text bigger, the lines looser, the contrast stronger or the motion still, and to have that remembered.

Works with: Website · Form · Game

On the roadmap. This plugin is planned, not yet in the product. Everything below describes how it will work when it ships, and nothing here is a date.

Accessibility Toolbar

Planned

A small toolbar for text size, spacing, contrast and motion preferences, added to a website that meets the accessibility standard without it.

Site-wide overlay
Applied as your pages are served, on every page, with no republish.

One switch. It offers text size, spacing, contrast, a dyslexia-friendly type option and reduced motion, and remembers the choice on the visitor's device.

On the roadmap. This page describes how it will work when it ships.

Preferences, not promises.

  1. Real preferences

    Text size, line and letter spacing, a high-contrast palette derived from your branding, a dyslexia-friendly type option, and a motion switch. Each applies to the whole site and is remembered.

  2. Honest about what it is

    The toolbar does not claim to make a site compliant, because a site is either built accessibly or it is not. Yours is. This adds choice on top.

  3. Accessible itself

    The toolbar is a labelled dialog, works fully by keyboard, and announces each change.

  4. Respects the device first

    A visitor whose device already asks for reduced motion or more contrast gets that without touching the toolbar.

How it will work.

  1. Switch it on On the Plugins page, enable the toolbar and choose which preferences to offer.
  2. Try it Open it on your dev site, change the text size, and reload to see it remembered.
  3. Done It is on your dev site and your live domain immediately.

Good to know

  • The choices are kept on the visitor's device only. Nothing about them is sent to the platform.
  • The high-contrast palette is worked out from your branding, so the site still looks like yours.
  • Accessibility overlays sold as compliance fixes have been criticised, rightly. This toolbar is not one and makes no such claim.

Practical answers before you plan on it.

Read every answer
Does this make my site compliant?

No toolbar can. Your site is built to meet WCAG 2.2 AA without it. The toolbar adds reader preferences on top of that.

Why offer it at all, then?

Because some readers want text a size larger than any design picks, or lines further apart, and a remembered choice is kinder than pinch-zooming every page.

Does it interfere with screen readers?

No. It is a dialog that is announced and dismissed like any other, and it changes nothing about the page structure a screen reader uses.
