Web accessibility means that websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.
Making your website accessible is not only a step towards a more inclusive internet - it leads to higher scores in accessibility audits and ensures that your store is compliant with accessibility legislation such as ADA and WCAG.
With the new accessiBe Pixel app, stores built with VTEX IO can quickly integrate with a solution to enhance the accessibility and usability of their website.
What has changed?
Stores built with VTEX IO can now integrate accessiBe pixel code to show an accessibility component in the storefront, presented as a settings button that gives accessibility options to the user.
Why did we perform this change?
accessiBe is a service that implements the accessibility guidelines of ADA and WCAG, making your VTEX IO store compliant with these international parameters and increasing your audience without friction.
What needs to be done?
First, you need to sign up to an accessiBe plan that suits your needs. Then, install the app from the VTEX App Store and follow the instructions in the documentation to set up the integration.
