Description
Clearweb Accessibility Add-on (תוסף נגישות לוורדפרס) adds a visitor-facing accessibility toolbar to your WordPress site. Visitors can personalize how they read and interact with your content without leaving the page.
Built by Clear Web for Israeli businesses and Hebrew-first websites: the admin screen and widget UI switch to עברית when your site language is Hebrew, with correct RTL layout and edge positioning that respects physical left/right screen sides.
The widget is an assistive layer (שכבת הנגשה). It does not replace semantic HTML fixes, manual WCAG audits, Israeli accessibility standard review, or legal/professional sign-off.
Features
- Quick-start presets — Low vision, ADHD-friendly, reduce motion, and high contrast profiles
- Typography — Text size, line height, letter spacing, word spacing, dyslexia-friendly font, larger cursor
- Vision — High/light/dark contrast, night mode, color inversion, saturation, color-blindness filters
- Reading aids — Reading mask, reading mode, read aloud (TTS), link and heading highlights
- Navigation — Skip to content, landmark jumps, keyboard shortcut reference
- Problem reporting — Visitors can report accessibility issues by email
- Hebrew & RTL — Full עברית interface for admin and the public widget (
he_ILincluded) - Admin settings — Pin the trigger to the left or right edge and set vertical position (desktop and mobile)
- Israeli support path — In-plugin link to Clear Web for audits, תיקוני נגישות, and WCAG remediation
Important
This plugin helps visitors adjust how content is displayed. For lasting compliance, Israeli sites still need proper markup, testing, and remediation. Clear Web offers professional accessibility audits and WCAG remediations in Israel.
External services
This plugin links to clearweb.co.il in the admin remediation call-to-action and in the optional widget footer branding. No visitor data is sent to Clear Web unless the visitor chooses to visit that site.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin make my site WCAG compliant?
-
No. The widget improves the experience for many visitors but does not fix underlying code, contrast, or structural accessibility issues. Professional review is still recommended.
-
Where are visitor preferences stored?
-
When enabled, preferences are saved in the visitor’s browser (
localStorage) on their device. They are not sent to your server. -
Does the problem report form collect personal data?
-
Visitors may optionally submit their name, email, page URL, and a description. The report is emailed to the address configured in settings (or the site admin email by default).
-
How is report spam prevented?
-
Reports use a hidden honeypot field, a minimum description length, and per-IP rate limiting (5 submissions per hour).
-
Is Hebrew supported?
-
Yes. Set your site language to Hebrew (עברית) under Settings General to load the included
he_ILtranslations. The widget panel, presets, and admin settings are fully translated for Israeli sites. -
Is this plugin suitable for Israeli businesses?
-
Yes. It was designed for the Israeli market: Hebrew UI, RTL layout, and an admin call-to-action to Clear Web for professional הנגשת אתרים and WCAG remediation. It is a good fit if you are looking for a תוסף נגישות or תוסף הנגשה for WordPress.
-
האם התוסף מתאים לעסקים בישראל?
-
כן. התוסף פותח עבור אתרים ישראליים: ממשק מלא בעברית (RTL), תרגום
he_ILמובנה, ומסך ניהול בעברית. מתאים למי שמחפש תוסף נגישות או תוסף הנגשה לוורדפרס. שכבת הווידג’ט אינה מחליפה תיקון קוד, בדיקת תקן או ליווי מקצועי — Clear Web מציעה ביקורת נגישות ויישום WCAG. -
האם התוסף הופך את האתר לתקן נגישות?
-
לא. הווידג’ט משפר את חוויית הגולש אך אינו מתקן בעיות מבנה, קוד או ניגודיות באתר. מומלץ לשלב עם בדיקה מקצועית והנגשה סמנטית של האתר.
