For users with low vision, epilepsy, cognitive disorders, and more:

How it works: any website that has the accessiBe application includes accessiBe’s accessibility interface, which covers the accessibility requirements relating to the design, UI, and the readability of websites. In order to meet their specific individual needs, such as low vision, epilepsy, cognitive disabilities, and others, users can modify the website’s design by using the interface.

All users have to do is simply choose an accessibility profile profile, such as “Vision Impaired ”, and the website’s design and UI immediately adjusts to accommodate that specific disability to offer a safer and easier browsing experience. Users also have the option, in addition to the profiles, to choose to enable singular adjustments, such as change color contrasts, increase font sizes, stop animations, and much more.

A few examples of how users with disabilities use accessiBe’s interface:

● Users with vision impairments—who frequently require a minimum threshold of contrast ratio between text and background order to view it properly—can select to browse a website in the Vision Impaired Profile, or they can choose to enable a Dark Mode or a Light mode (both usually meet WCAG success criteria).

● As a result of noise and distractions such as videos, images, animations, popups, and sliders, users with cognitive disabilities regularly have a difficult time focusing on the essential parts of a website. One way to minimize distractions would be for these users to utilize the Cognitive Disability profile, which features adjustments such as stopping animations, highlighting headings and interactive elements, and more.

● As a result of animations, flashing GIFs, and colors, users with epilepsy are frequently at risk of having a seizure. One way they can eliminate their risk is to enable the Seizure Safe Profile. This will immediately cease all flashing animations and also reduce risky hues to further avoid risk of seizures.

● Degrading eyesight may hinder one’s ability to see and read a website’s layout and text. They might find the items on the screen to be too narrow or small or crowded. With the interface, users can increase the space between the margins and the letters, the height and the rows, increase font sizes, and even scale the entire layout and content of the site, until it meets their requirements

This is only a small sample of how the accessibility interface works—there are dozens of other use cases and examples.
