Overall Satisfaction with accessiBe

I use accessiBe as a tool to make my website more accessible. accessiBe is incredible because it provides an automated solution to making websites more accessible to users with disabilities. As a blind person myself, I'm impressed that there's a solution that can be implemented to make websites more accessible for a low cost to the business or website owner. From my experience, accessiBe does a great job at making websites accessible. It's what we call an overlay that automates alt-text etc. We also build websites for companies and we re-sell accessiBe to our clients who also have found it very useful. One aspect of accessiBe that I find impressive is if one user finds a bug, the bug can be fixed and assist several hundred thousand users. The program provides a turn-key solution for accessibility which I've been quite impressed with.
  • Automate alt text image descriptions. Makes websites more accessible to people with visual disabilities. Makes websites more accessible to people with other physical disabilities. Enhances SEO possibilities for websites by implementing alt text for all images. Very user-friendly and plug-and-play for website admins.
  • accessiBe is known as an overlay software to enhance the accessibility of websites. While it is a great solution, websites that have been coded specifically to make that site more accessible tend to be even more accessible than the accessiBe result. The issue with this is that in order to hard code a website to be accessible, the cost to the website owner is thousands of dollars initially, and then a high monthly retainer fee to maintain accessibility. accessiBe over time should work to become as good as a hard-coded solution.
  • It is a turnkey solution to affordable website accessibility. Not only does it make websites accessible, but it also helps enhance SEO opportunities by writing alt text descriptions. Alternatively, it prompts website admins to write their own, perhaps more accurate alt text. Finally, it provides its customers comfort that they are compliant with the WCAG accessibility guidelines defined for websites.
  • accessiBe allows us to build accessible websites for our customers. It has been extremely useful for them, and they all rave about it.
accessiBe is a reliable, affordable solution.

accessiBe is well suited to make websites that were not previously accessible to persons with disabilities. As a blind user, I can honestly say that website inaccessibility is extremely frustrating. It's like a physical space not being accessible to someone with a mobility disability. accessiBe is well suited for making websites more accessible. It is not well suited as an SEO tool, website building software, etc.
