Overview
ADA Compliance from Elfsight adds accessibility controls and an audit checker to a Squarespace page. Visitors can choose from ready-made modes, including Low Vision, Dyslexia-Friendly and Motor Assistance, while settings can adjust text clarity, navigation and colour contrast. The widget can scan a website for accessibility issues, provide a downloadable report and display an audit score badge. It also supports screen readers and localisation. This is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform, not native Squarespace code. You build and customise it in Elfsight's online editor, then add it to a Squarespace page using an embed code in a Code Block.
Who it suits
This may suit businesses and organisations that want visitors to have accessibility controls, and site owners who want to check for common accessibility issues and display an audit score. It can also be useful for sites serving visitors in different languages. A free plan is available to start with.
One honest caveat
The checker looks for common accessibility issues and offers suggestions, so its audit should not be treated as proof that a site meets every accessibility requirement. The score badge depends on scanning the website first. Free-tier widgets carry Elfsight branding and monthly view limits; paid plans remove those. The widget stops showing if the Elfsight account lapses.
Installation
Build and customise the widget in Elfsight's online editor, then copy the embed code from your Elfsight dashboard. In Squarespace, paste it into a Code Block on the page where you want the accessibility controls to appear. Later edits in the editor update automatically.

The editor includes settings for text clarity, site navigation and colour contrast. The vendor also lists screen-reader support and keyboard navigation among the accessibility settings. These controls are designed to help visitors adjust how they use the site without requiring a redesign of its pages.
A built-in checker scans a website for accessibility issues and provides suggestions for possible improvements. The results appear in the plugin interface, and a full report can be downloaded. After a scan, you can show a badge with the audit score on your site.
The widget and configurator support localisation, with the Squarespace page describing translations and localisation for 76 countries. You can configure the widget in Elfsight's online editor and place its embed code in a Squarespace Code Block. It is hosted on Elfsight's platform rather than being native Squarespace code, so later editor changes update the embedded widget automatically.
