What the widget does
Every visitor finds what they need in seconds. The choice is saved and applies on the next visit too.
For anyone who struggles with small or dense text.
For low vision, colour blindness and bright light.
For reading difficulties, visual impairment or a second language.
For concentration difficulties, ADHD and long texts.
For keyboard users, tremors, migraine and vertigo.
For sensory sensitivity, autism and noisy places.
Who it helps
Not only people with disabilities. Also older customers, people with reading glasses, an injury or simply a phone in bright sunlight.
Vision
Text up to twice the size, more contrast and read aloud. Prices and terms get read, not skimmed.
Colour vision
Colour correction makes red error messages and green buttons distinguishable again.
Reading
A readable font, more spacing and read aloud lower the barrier for forms and applications.
Focus
Reading guide, calm pages without motion and hidden images keep attention on what matters.
Motor
Visible focus, keyboard navigation and a large cursor. Checkout works without a mouse.
Sensory
Animations and sounds stop at the push of a button, night mode is easy on the eyes.
Industries
Every customer who cannot use the product text or checkout is a lost sale. The widget helps exactly where revenue happens.
Citizens must be able to use your website, however well they see or read. The widget helps with forms, the free scan shows where the site itself needs work.
Wherever people read, book or fill in forms.
Integration
No plugin lock-in, no relaunch, no change to your design. The script goes into the header, the widget does the rest.
<script src="https://app.friendlyuse.com/widget/widget.js" data-token="…" data-position="br" defer></script> Scan and dashboard
The free scan checks one page automatically against WCAG A and AA. In the dashboard you see how often visitors use the widget and which aids they choose.
Why now
Since June 2025 the European Accessibility Act applies to many online shops, and public bodies have had rules for longer. The widget alone does not meet these duties, but it helps your visitors from day one while you improve the website.
people in the EU live with a disability.
Since then the EAA applies to many online shops and digital services.
Fine for breaches of the German BFSG, plus the risk of legal warnings.

Some overlays promise “compliance in one click”. No widget can do that, and it has already cost vendors fines.

|---|---|---|---|
| Helps visitors right away | Yes | Yes, 25+ aids in 10 languages | Only after fixes |
| Finds errors in the code | Often “auto-fixed” | Yes, free automated scan | Yes, most thorough |
| Promises compliance | Yes, legally risky | No, on purpose | Reliable assessment |
| Cost | Monthly subscription | From €19 a month | One-off, per project |

More on the EAA, BFSG and WCAG 2.2 in our knowledge section.
An accessibility widget is a script-embedded control panel that lets website visitors adjust the presentation themselves – font size, contrast, reading aids or stopping animations. It complements technical accessibility under WCAG 2.2 but does not replace it: legal requirements such as the EAA and Germany's BFSG also demand an accessible foundation. That is why friendlyuse adds a free automated scan and usage analytics in the dashboard.
friendlyuse is first and foremost an accessibility widget with a dashboard. Your visitors can adjust font, contrast, reading aids and other settings themselves. In the dashboard you manage domains, embedding, usage and billing.
The widget is embedded as its own script and runs separately from your website. Visitor settings are stored locally, so the page appears the way they configured it on their next visit.
A widget does not replace a full WCAG audit and is not a guarantee of legal compliance. But it improves usability for visitors and complements your own accessibility work with directly usable aids.
Visitor preferences live in the browser. For usage statistics, friendlyuse counts unique monthly visitors in a privacy-friendly way via a hash, without storing raw IP addresses.
We deliberately position friendlyuse as a visitor widget and scanner, not as an automatic legal guarantee. The clear boundary matters: the script helps people on your website but does not replace solid product development.
If the script is removed or a domain is deactivated, the widget no longer appears. Your HTML stays unchanged, because friendlyuse is embedded as a separate layer.
Add the widget, scan your site for free, try it 14 days. Then from €19 a month.
