accessibility overlays

Accessibility overlays are tools added to a website’s code to help improve usability for people with disabilities. They often include features like text-to-speech, adjustable font sizes, color contrast options, or keyboard navigation. These overlays are intended to make websites more inclusive, but they are not a substitute for comprehensive accessibility design. While they can provide quick enhancements, their effectiveness varies, and some may cause issues if they conflict with a website’s existing structure. Overall, overlays are a helpful supplement, but true accessibility depends on thoughtful, foundational design from the start.
