The UserWay widget works really well with Wordpress. We love how easy it is to install, and it’s quick to manage accessibility for all of our client websites with just one login.

The Challenge

Scalable Accessibility for Client Websites

Port City Marketing makes campaigns for various audiences, but its management team wanted to add more options for clients to become digitally accessible, even if it didn’t have any in-house accessibility capabilities.

The firm also didn’t want to surprise its clients with high costs or time delays by needing to manually re-code all the pages on their existing websites. It also wanted to guarantee that new content would be automatically accessible when uploaded to client websites. Additionally, the management team wanted a solution that complies with privacy regulations.

The Solution

Efficiency

Easy Implementation and Testing

Applying accessibility measures is often a long and challenging process for firms that manage thousands of pages.
However, since the UserWay accessibility widget requires only one line of code to install, Port City Marketing can quickly implement and test the widget on client websites.

Aesthetics

Low-Impact Accessibility

Upon installation, the UserWay widget immediately fixes accessibility violations, such as missing alt tags and descriptive text. The widget performs the fixes at the code level without affecting the layout and design of website elements. It can also be customized to match client brand guidelines.

Privacy

Respect for user preferences

All of UserWay’s accessibility features are available in one widget. This feature eliminates the need for visitors to websites built by Port City Marketing to select their accessibility requirements, maintaining user privacy.
