Your profile adapts to the person reading it
Every Anexus profile carries its own accessibility controls, so a visitor can make your card readable for them without asking you for anything. Underneath, the profile is built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA — a newer version than the WCAG 2.0 Level AA that Ontario’s AODA requires.
What a visitor sees
Four controls, one button
A button sits in the bottom-left corner of your public profile. Tapping it opens a short panel with four settings. Nothing is hidden behind a menu and nothing asks the visitor to create an account.
Text size
Three steps — normal, large, extra large. The whole card scales, not just the About section.
High contrast
Black background, white text, yellow links. It overrides your own theme colours, so a palette that is hard for someone to read stops being a barrier.
Reduce motion
Stops the entrance animations and transitions for visitors who find movement uncomfortable or disorienting.
Underline links
Underlines every link, so colour alone never has to carry the meaning.
Each choice is remembered on that visitor’s own device, so a returning visitor keeps the settings they picked.
How it is built
Real controls, not an overlay widget
The panel is part of the profile itself. It is not one of the third-party accessibility overlays that sit on top of a page and try to repair it from the outside.
Operable from the keyboard
Every control can be reached and switched with a keyboard, closed with Escape, and is announced to a screen reader with its current state.
Scoped to your card
The settings apply to the profile card only. They do not disturb the rest of the page, and they never change what you wrote.
Nothing to install or configure
It is on every public profile from the moment you create one. There is no setting to find and no add-on to buy.
The work underneath
Built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Controls only help if the page beneath them is sound. The public profile and its dialogs were tested with axe-core, an open-source accessibility engine, and return no violations — both on the profile itself and with the AI chat open.
- Every form field has a real label — the appointment booking form and the share-by-email field included.
- Social links, carousel arrows and close buttons are named, so a screen reader says what they do.
- Dialogs trap focus while they are open, return it when they close, and close on Escape.
- Booking errors and confirmations are announced, not just shown in a colour.
- A focus ring that stays visible on any theme, so keyboard users can always see where they are.
- The profile declares its language, so a translated profile is read out in the right one.
You choose your own background, button and text colours, and a combination you like can still be hard for someone else to read. Anexus adjusts button text automatically to keep it legible, and a visitor can switch on High Contrast at any time — but the colours you pick are still your content, not something the platform silently rewrites.
Why it matters
The people you meet are not all alike
Your profile is often the first thing a new contact sees, and it is read on a phone, in bad light, at the end of a long day. Larger text and stronger contrast help far more people than those who would describe themselves as having a disability. In Ontario, accessibility is also a legal expectation for most organizations, and a profile that works for everyone is one less thing to answer for.
Questions about accessibility
Do I have to turn accessibility on?
No. The accessibility button is on every public profile from the moment you create one, on every plan including the free Basic plan. There is no setting to find and nothing extra to buy.
What can a visitor actually change?
Four things: text size in three steps, a high-contrast mode with a black background and yellow links, reduced motion that stops the animations, and underlined links. Their choice is remembered on their own device for the next visit.
Does the visitor need an account or an app?
Neither. The controls are part of the profile page itself, so anyone who opens your card can use them straight away in their browser.
Is this one of those accessibility overlay widgets?
No. Overlay widgets sit on top of a finished page and try to correct it from the outside. These controls are built into the profile, and the profile underneath was remediated directly — labelled form fields, named buttons, focus handling in dialogs and a visible focus ring.
Which standard does the profile meet?
The public profile is built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, a newer version than the WCAG 2.0 Level AA that Ontario’s AODA requires. It is tested with axe-core, an open-source accessibility engine, and returns no violations on the profile or with the AI chat dialog open.
Can my own brand colours still cause a problem?
Yes, and it is worth knowing. You pick your background, button and text colours, and a combination you like can still be hard for someone else to read. Anexus keeps button text legible automatically, and a visitor can switch on high contrast at any time, but the palette itself is your content.
