Web accessibility is an essential aspect of website and application design and development. It ensures that people with different abilities and disabilities can access and use the digital world in a way that makes sense to them. One of the crucial tools for improving Web accessibility are WCAG widgets.
Our DXP, the Drupal installation profile used to create your new website, is equipped with an Accessibility Checker so that even after your website is delivered, new pages can be built semantically and accessibility (Content quality assurance) with Layout Builder.
Our developers received AnySurfer training?
The name gives it away; It's a widget that automatically checks your content pages on the website for some points. (Which points? We'll be happy to tell you below.) Automatically? Yes! Authors don't have to be trained or reminded to do a "check." It just happens "on the fly."

When composing and customizing your Layout Builder pages, sometimes it's not easy to keep track of the page structure. Don't panic. Here you will also get tips on how to optimize your page when, among other things:
The WCAG widget also helps for general content quality control. This way, you can create pages that are pleasant and readable for your users every time. Among other things, the widget helps with :
Check for excessive use of capital letters
Reminder to check whether the linked documents and PDFs are accessible
Reminder to check if media embeds are accessible
Afterwards you can also consult the handy dashboard where all comments are grouped and summarized. This way, you always have an overview of all pages where some optimizations are still needed.
