How do I implement the widget?

Implementation usually takes only a few minutes. You will receive a JavaScript code that you can insert into your website.

Our widget works on all websites / all CMS systems.

Our software works with all common content management systems such as WordPress, Typo3, Shopify, Drupal, Joomla, Wix, Squarespace, Gambio, Jimdo, Magento, Contao, BigCommerce, OXID, and many more.

No, but the functions of the widget cover many of the most common and important barriers that your users might encounter.

Our complete solution also includes other products that are important for the full accessibility of your website. Learn more about this in the navigation under “Features”.

No, our widget is developed for fast loading times and mobile optimization.

In the backend under “Widget”, the color and position can be individually adjusted. The color is adjusted via a color code, and the position via a selection or an individual trigger.

Auto-Optimization

Are there any limitations?

All web pages on your domain are checked for missing alt text and provided with AI-generated text.

A maximum of 5,000 images per domain can be generated automatically. If you need more, simply contact us.

Automatically generated alt texts can be viewed in the tool and edited individually. Existing alt texts are not overwritten. However, the monitoring points out potentially deficient texts.

In that case, we recommend deleting all alt texts. The system will then detect what is missing and automatically create new alt texts.

Images without alt text are clearly displayed in the tool and can be edited individually. The system automatically detects decorative images in many cases and sets the alt text to “”. Additionally, images can be manually marked as decorative.

No. The alt texts are stored and displayed in our system. However, they can be transferred to the CMS manually.

Yes, the BFSG and WCAG 2.1 require alt text for images. Missing alt text is a major barrier for people with visual impairments.

Yes, AccessGO automatically improves your website’s keyboard accessibility.

Improved keyboard accessibility makes it possible to use a website without a mouse, meeting key WCAG requirements. With the integrated skip links, users can switch directly between different sections of the website. In addition, a focus outline in the widget’s primary color highlights the current selection and makes orientation easier. When navigating by keyboard, the user is also actively notified if an element opens a new tab.

Audit & Monitoring

Is my company's website already accessible?

95% of websites are not accessible. If you haven’t consciously addressed it yet, barriers likely exist. Simply contact us and let an expert review your website for free.

No. PDF files are not automatically made accessible. Linked PDFs should be manually checked and replaced if necessary.

AccessGO analyzes your website automatically based on over 110 WCAG 2.1 checkpoints (A and AA). You receive clear reports with prioritized recommendations for action.

By default, the monitoring takes into account the legally relevant AA standard as well as additional best practices that go beyond WCAG requirements and further improve user-friendliness.

Optionally, we also provide information on level AAA, for example for public bodies and authorities.

ARIA labels, forms, and the heading structure are not automatically adjusted, but are reliably detected and clearly identified by the monitoring.

Yes. With the browser assistant, you can see the barriers detected in the monitoring directly on your website. The affected elements are highlighted and supplemented with specific instructions for remediation.

“The browser assistant is a tool from AccessGO that allows you to make barriers visible directly on your own website – in context and in the right place.

It shows, among other things:

  • where barriers occur on the page (with PRO subscriptions including monitoring results),
  • which images have alt texts, were automatically added, or are still missing,
  • whether the AccessGO widget is active and where individual triggers are integrated.

This allows developers, editors, or agencies to find and fix barriers more quickly and specifically.”

Setup is completed in two simple steps:

  1. Log in to app.accessgo.de and drag the Browser Assistant as a bookmark into your browser bar using drag-and-drop.

  2. Open your website, click on the bookmark, and log in with your AccessGO credentials.

The Browser Assistant starts directly on your page.

Note: The display of monitoring results is only available with PRO subscriptions.

The browser assistant shows you barriers directly on your website – clearly laid out, color-coded, and exactly at the affected location.

Developers see:

  • where the error occurs,
  • which HTML code is affected,
  • and what specifically needs to be adjusted.

This makes errors easier to understand and fix in a targeted way. Additionally, you can directly check alt texts of images and improve them if needed. This saves time and makes implementation significantly more efficient.

Accessibility Statement

I have several websites. Is the declaration always the same?

No, every website / domain requires its own accessibility declaration.

Yes, these fields are clearly marked in the draft text. Please check your generated accessibility declaration carefully – especially for the accuracy of your contact details and for completeness.
If you are aware of existing barriers, please also state these and your planned handling of them in the declaration.

If it has been nearly a year since your accessibility declaration was last generated, we will inform you, just as we will if there are changes to the legal requirements for the declaration.

No. However, notification will be sent if legal foundations change or if an annual renewal is due.
