Making Web Accessibility a Modern Business Imperative
When someone using a screen reader visits your website, will they be able to navigate it? Can they fill out a form using only a keyboard? These are not abstract questions—they shape how millions of people interact with the web every day.
accessiBe, a digital accessibility company founded in 2018, helps businesses answer those questions with confidence. By combining AI-powered automationand expert human guidance, accessiBe supports companies on their journey toward making the internet more usable for individuals with disabilities—while aligning with key standards such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)and theWeb Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Today, over 100,000 websites rely on accessiBe’s solutions to improve their digital inclusion efforts.
About accessiBe: Technology With Inclusion at Its Core
accessiBe was created to simplify the complex process of making websites accessible. Rather than relying solely on time-consuming manual remediations, accessiBe introduces a hybrid model—where automation handles widespread issues, and human experts step in for more nuanced challenges.
Its growing customer base includes notable names like Nintendo, Barilla, Segway, British Airways, Tiffany & Co., and UCLA Health. This wide adoption reflects the company’s scalability and trust within the industry.
Core Solution: accessWidget
At the heart of accessiBe’s offering is accessWidget, an AI-powered accessibility tool designed to be lightweight, efficient, and easy to implement.
How It Works
After integrating a small JavaScript snippet, accessWidget begins scanning a website for accessibility barriers. It then applies automated fixes—especially helpful for users who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers or keyboard-only navigation.
Key Features
- AI-Powered Adjustments: Automatically corrects common issues like missing alt text, semantic errors, and inconsistent heading structure.
- User Interface Customization: Offers on-screen tools to adjust font size, color contrast, text spacing, or even activate text-to-speech.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously scans and updates accessibility settings as site content evolves.
While accessWidget handles a broad range of issues, it’s important to note that manual oversight is still essential for highly customized websites or complex user interfaces.
The Broader Ecosystem: Tools and Services That Complement accessWidget
In addition to accessWidget, accessiBe provides two other key offerings that help support a wider range of digital accessibility needs:
Solution | Function |
accessFlow | A comprehensive accessibility management platform to integrate accessibility checks directly into the codebase and development pipeline. |
