WCAG Accessibility Widget
Legal notice
This skill explains the Israeli web accessibility rules in general terms and helps you build a preferences widget and a statement page. It is not legal advice and not an accessibility audit. A widget does not by itself make a site meet ת"י 5568: the obligation is on the site's own content and markup. Whether a particular site is obliged, exempt, or conforms is a question for a מורשה לנגישות השירות or a lawyer who has examined that site.
Overview
A self-hosted floating accessibility widget: a fixed button that opens a panel of preference toggles. Settings are persisted in localStorage and applied as CSS classes on <html>. No third-party service needed.
Build the site right first, then add the widget. The regulation requires the content itself to conform. A toolbar does not add missing labels, fix focus order, caption a video, or tag a PDF. In April 2025 the US FTC approved a final order requiring accessiBe to pay $1 million over claims that its widget could make any website WCAG-compliant. Never describe the widget to a client as the compliance solution.
