Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility”, “wordpress accessibility” and “web accessibility” for “handicap”, “dyslexia” and “section 508”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “handicap” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dyslexia” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “web accessibility” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “section 508” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 19.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ developemai4.9y ago
Use por primera vez este plugin en mi web de Joomla y quede bastante impresionado con lo útil y completo que es este plugin. Te ofrece un gran número de opciones para mejorar la accesibilidad como: cambio de colores, contraste, tamaño de letra, espaciado entre letras, mejorar el enfoque, etc.. En cuanto a prestaciones para las personas con dificultades de visión cubre todo lo que necesita una web. El modo en el que se presenta como un botón en un lateral es cómodo, no dificulta para anda la navegación y se muestra constantemente a la vista sin molestar. Otro de los aspectos que más me llamaron la atención y por lo que he decidido instalarlo también en mi web de WordPress es el sello permite poner en el footer y que indica que la web cumple con el protocolo de accesibilidad. En definitiva, volvere a usarlo en cualquier web que cree y lo recomendaré ya que es fiable y asegura cumplir con los protocolos. La mejor opción para webs institucionales y que prestan servicios públicos.

Hi, Im very happy with the customer service. I requested a change (add an attribute to an anchor) and they not only answered me almost instantly but also they accepted the request and did the change in 2 days. Pretty awesome. Some other plugins out there (paid ones too) dont have this reaction. So thank you for that. Best.

No free/lite version. Requires payment after 3 days which does not follow the WordPress spirit. Since when are paid products on the WordPress Repository?

Very easy to install, easy to set up, lots of customization options. This is a wonderful way to bring your sites up to ADA compliance and in general make them more accessible to users with a wide range needs. The developers are also very responsive and quick to help troubleshoot any issues. As a marketing agency managing many sites, the ability to control them all but bill separately from the HikeOrders backend is incredibly useful as well.

It’s a great plugin that works on my website. The support team is very helpful and gives you whatever support you may need. I’d certainly recommend this plugin and I’ll be sure to use it on other websites. This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by webxuk.
