Webflow and accessiBe: A Perfect Match?

Accessibility in the Web

Web accessibility ensures that websites are usable by everyone, including individuals with disabilities.

This is crucial, as 15% of the global population experiences some form of disability, which translates to over 1 billion people potentially facing barriers online. Accessible websites not only promote inclusivity but can also increase a business's audience by up to 12%.

What is accessiBe?

accessiBe is a leading provider of web accessibility solutions, dedicated to making the internet more accessible for people with disabilities. Their flagship product, accessWidget, leverages AI to automatically detect and fix accessibility issues on websites.

This tool not only ensures compliance with accessibility standards but also enhances the user experience for all visitors. By integrating seamlessly with existing websites, accessWidget provides an efficient way to achieve accessibility without extensive manual intervention.

WCAG & ADA

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are a set of internationally recognized standards that outline how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a U.S. law that prohibits discrimination based on disability, including in online spaces.

accessiBe helps websites comply with both WCAG and ADA by using AI to identify and address accessibility barriers automatically. This ensures that websites are not only legally compliant but also usable by everyone, reducing the risk of legal action while promoting inclusivity. accessiBe's solution simplifies the complex process of accessibility compliance, making it achievable even for those without technical expertise.
