accessiBe Technology & Features

Let’s take a closer look at how acceessiBe makes your website accessible to people living with disabilities:

Front-End Adjustments

The front end of your website must cater to people with visual impairments, seizures, or cognitive issues. accessiBe has solved this issue by making it possible for the user to adjust the design and UI of a website.

This is the widget as shown on Lonely Planet’s website:

Here is a close-up view of the widget.

Back-End Adjustments

accessiBe uses machine learning to scan, analyze, and interpret every element on a page in the same way a human would. The system then automatically fixes accessibility issues using ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes and various behavior adjustments. This provides full context to screen readers, allowing blind users and people who suffer from motor impairment to navigate and browse sites accurately and seamlessly.

Here are some screenshots from accessiBe’s website explaining the back-end functionality:

Customer Support

Chat Support ★★★★☆
