## Beskrywing

**AccessiBar** adds a floating accessibility button to your website. When visitors
click it, a compact toolbar appears with tools that let them adjust the site to 
their needs — increase font size, enable high contrast mode, switch to a dyslexia-
friendly font, and more.

**Why AccessiBar?**

Many accessibility plugins have moved to a SaaS model — requiring subscriptions,
limiting free features behind paywalls, making external API calls, and raising GDPR
concerns. AccessiBar takes a different approach:

 * **No paywalls.** Every feature works without any subscription or premium tier.
 * **Zero external requests.** No CDNs, no third-party APIs, no Google Fonts. Everything
   runs locally from your server.
 * **GDPR-compliant by design.** No cookies are set. User preferences are stored
   in the browser’s localStorage — no data ever leaves the visitor’s device.
 * **Zero dependencies.** Works with any WordPress theme and page builder — no Elementor,
   no Divi, no specific theme required.
 * **No server-side processing.** No database tables, no server load, no SQL queries.
   Everything runs in the visitor’s browser.
 * **Lightweight.** Under 45KB total frontend footprint (CSS + JS + font). Your 
   site stays fast.
 * **Keyboard accessible.** The toolbar itself is fully navigable with Tab, Enter,
   and Escape keys, with proper ARIA attributes and focus management.

**Toolbar Features:**

 * **Font Size Controls** — Increase, decrease, or reset the page font size.
 * **High Contrast Mode** — Dark background with light text and highlighted links
   for better readability.
 * **Highlight Links** — Makes all links visually distinct with outlines and underlines.
 * **Readable Font** — Switches to OpenDyslexic, a typeface designed for readers
   with dyslexia. The font file is bundled locally.
 * **Stop Animations** — Disables all CSS animations and transitions for visitors
   with motion sensitivities.
 * **Large Cursor** — Increases the mouse cursor size for easier tracking.

All preferences are remembered across page loads via localStorage.

**Admin Settings:**

 * Button position (any corner)
 * Button color
 * Button size (small, medium, large)
 * Optional button label text
 * Toggle individual toolbar features on/off
 * Hide on mobile devices option

## Kwel-vrae

### Are all features included?

Yes. All features are available without any subscription, premium tier, or usage
limits.

### Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. AccessiBar makes zero external requests — no cookies, no tracking, no third-
party scripts. All visitor preferences are stored in the browser’s localStorage 
and never leave the device.

### Does it work with Elementor / Divi / Gutenberg?

Yes. AccessiBar works with any WordPress theme and any page builder. It uses a simple
floating button that doesn’t interfere with your existing layout.

### Does it slow down my site?

No. The CSS and JS loaded on every page are under 17KB combined. The OpenDyslexic
font (25KB) is only loaded when a visitor activates the readable font feature. Total
footprint is under 45KB.

### Can visitors save their preferences?

Yes. All settings are automatically saved in the browser’s localStorage and restored
on every page load — no account or cookies required.

### Does it have any visit or usage limits?

No. There are no monthly visit caps, no pageview metering, and no feature gates.
AccessiBar runs entirely in the browser with zero server-side processing, so there
is nothing to meter.

### Does it work with WPML / TranslatePress / Polylang?

Yes. AccessiBar operates via client-side JavaScript and CSS, independent of your
CMS translation layer. It works on any page regardless of language or translation
plugin.

### Is the toolbar itself accessible?

Yes. The toolbar supports full keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape), includes
ARIA attributes, and implements a focus trap when the panel is open.
