Accessibility options for visitors

Built in, on every page

Every public campaign page includes a visitor accessibility menu — automatically, with nothing to configure or enable. It's part of making sure every supporter, including donors with low vision, motor difficulties, or motion sensitivity, can read your story and complete a donation comfortably.

How visitors find it

  • On desktop, a floating round accessibility button sits in the bottom corner of the page. Clicking it slides open a settings panel.
  • On phones, there's deliberately no floating button — nothing overlays your campaign content on a small screen. Instead, visitors find an Accessibility options link in the page footer.

The panel itself is a side sheet that's fully keyboard-navigable, and there's also a hidden "Skip to main content" link for keyboard and screen-reader users as the very first thing on the page.

What visitors can adjust

Text and readability

  • Text size — scale everything up to 110%, 125%, or 150%.
  • Text spacing — widen letter, word, and line spacing for easier reading.
  • Readable font — swap decorative type for a plain, highly legible font.

Color and contrast

  • Contrast — default, high contrast, or fully inverted colors (photos and videos stay true-color even in inverted mode).
  • Color intensity — default, grayscale, or extra-vivid.

Content and navigation

  • Highlight links — underlines and colors every link so they can't be missed.
  • Highlight keyboard focus — a bold outline follows keyboard navigation.
  • Hide images — strips imagery for distraction-free reading.
  • Pause animations — stops moving elements and autoplaying video. (If a visitor's device is set to "reduce motion," this starts on automatically.)
  • Large cursor — an oversized pointer for easier tracking.
  • Reading guide — a horizontal ruler that follows the pointer, helping keep the place line by line.

Settings are saved on the visitor's device, so their preferences hold across visits and across every Pledgix campaign page they open in that browser. A Reset all settings button restores the defaults in one tap, and a small badge on the desktop button shows when any setting is active.

Languages and layout

The menu is fully translated in the platform languages and is right-to-left aware — on a Hebrew page it docks on the opposite side and mirrors correctly, matching the rest of your page.

The accessibility statement

The panel also links to Pledgix's accessibility statement, describing the platform's WCAG conformance work and how visitors can send accessibility feedback. Donors with concerns have a clear path to raise them — you don't have to field the technical side yourself.

Tip: Accessibility tools help the page's chrome, but your content is yours: favor real text over text baked into images, and keep good color contrast in your story and banner. The menu can resize text — it can't resize words inside a JPEG.
