Description

We provide helpful accessibility plugins that work without refactoring your website’s existing code and will increase compliance with WCAG 2.1, ATAG 2.0, ADA, & Section 508 requirements.

WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance is Within Reach
Our Approach: start small, one step at a time
<Without changes to your website’s existing code>

Web accessibility can seem complex and overwhelming if you don’t know where to start.

UserWay’s plugin will instantly strengthen any weak spots that might cause issues.
We are proud to say that tens of millions of pages are more accessible today thanks to UserWay.

Try abandoning your mouse for a couple of days and see what the experience is like navigating your company’s site.

UserWay creates a simpler and more accessible browsing experience for users with mobility issues as well. Millions of people cannot use a mouse or other pointing device and rely solely on their keyboard to navigate websites. Your site should be fully navigable using a keyboard’s tab key, arrow keys, the enter key and the spacebar.

The UserWay widget will make smart modifications to elements on your site that we identify as potentially non-compliant or that may prevent keyboard-only navigation. And we do it all without requiring you or your developers to make costly adjustments to your website’s existing codebase.

Failure to comply with Section 508 of the Department of Justice’s ADA (American with Disabilities Act) Standards for Accessible Design could expose your company to hefty fines, the risk of expensive criminal and civil litigation as well as a reputation for being unfriendly to the disabled.

DO NOT INSTALL MANUALLY into wordpress. I was able to install and uninstall via the plugin menu, but it did not remove the manually - installed code. The code is gone from footer.php where I pasted their script. When I asked Userway, they HID the widget, rather than allowing me to uninstall. On the DIVI editor, the widget is visible but when I click "manage" I get a message that it's not installed properly, account ID is missing. One star for documentation, three stars for function - it's better than nothing.

I was using the One Click Accessibility plug-in which is an excellent plug-in but doesn't have a screen reader. Userway does have a screen reader. Userway is also a one-click install and an excellent service. Unlike some of the reviews which say it's not free, that's not true. It is 100% free. They just offer additional options for $10 a month such as white labeling and inserting your own logo. It does have a donate button but so what. It's a very worthy cause if someone wants to donate but they don't have to. I am using Userway on several websites. I'm a personal injury lawyer and do litigation for a living. I was very concerned about getting sued. I was very happy to find a plug-in with a screen reader.

Free version works well if needed. Currently tracking its usage and may remove though. When using, the plugin causes reporting to decrease by 7 points – it is flagged "Does not use passive listeners to improve scrolling performance"

I'm using UserWay on several dozen websites. The UserWay plugin is 100% legit and is FREE to use. If you want to use your brand/company name instead of UserWay INSIDE the display of the tool, they charge $10/month for a signle site. Again, there is NO COST to use all of the features in the plugin. Only if you want your name on it is their any cost.

I was trying to figure out why there weren't more reviews for this widget - especially after I started using it! I'm guessing that it's because most of us (even those of us with WP sites) grab the script directly from the UserWay website and just add it into the website header. Most of us are not coming on here to get it. The overall design and the functionality of the UserWay widget are GREAT. It allows several different options and combinations, and they all work well. You also get to choose your icon, icon size, and customize the color and placement... That’s pretty freaking good. Anyway, I don't see how people think they're being tricked. The free version works perfectly - exactly the same as the paid version. The only difference is you have the UserWay logo and a donation link that allows people to donate to the developers. I think that's pretty reasonable. I use the free version for my nonprofit clients and the paid version for doctors, etc. Definitely recommend.

This WordPress plugin is great. It's easy to install and comes jam packed with features, even with the free option. Setup time is less than 5 minutes. Just install, activate, then go to Settings > UserWay to configure.
