No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    Plugin v0.6.2.4 using WordPress 6.1.1 First, let me compliment on creating a plugin that does not create any warnings or errors in the hosting error log. Always a “touch of class” when that happens. With that said, and correct me if I’m wrong, although the free version does allow for some options to carry over from page to page, Text resizing does not. For that reason I cannot use it as it would be too frustrating for visitors. I know the Pro version provides for it but I cannot justify the cost of it.

    I’ve used some accessibility widgets for the web site I am developing but this is the best. It works perfect with screen readers and it zooms in a lot. It is the best for helping sites to meet some of the WCAG 2.2 criteria. Note: I have low vision (blindness)

    Warning for people wanting to buy this plugin. The author is unresponsive. He will not respond to your emails even though you pay for support. It’s been 5 days so far. Will keep updating my experience so others don’t have to go through the same thing. This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by bd.

    A very good Accessibility plugin. It adds a lot of the most common accessibility requirements. The only thing I miss is the option to export/import the plugin settings so I can easily install and configure it in more that one site. תוסף נגישות מצוין. מוסיף הרבה מאוד מהפיצ’רים הנדרשים לנגישות.
