Overview
Most Squarespace sites give visitors no way to adjust how a page reads. The Accessibility Widget from Common Ninja adds a floating accessibility menu that lets visitors change text size, spacing, contrast, colours, motion, images, and navigation settings to suit how they actually browse. Ready-made profiles cover common needs, preferences persist between visits, and the whole menu works by keyboard. You choose where it sits on desktop and mobile, and it installs on Squarespace 7.1 with a simple embed code.
If your site serves the EU or the UK, accessibility is now a compliance question as much as a design one. The European Accessibility Act covers e-commerce, and WCAG 2.2 is the standard most policies point at. The Accessibility Widget gives visitors a practical way to adapt your Squarespace pages: larger text, wider spacing, higher contrast, reduced motion, and adjusted navigation, all from a floating menu you position yourself.
Implementation stays simple. You configure the menu in Common Ninja's editor, copy one embed code, and paste it into your Squarespace 7.1 site. Preferences persist between visits and the menu is fully keyboard accessible.
Be clear about what it does not do: an overlay menu helps visitors adapt your pages, but it does not repair missing alt text, unlabelled form fields, or low-contrast buttons in your own markup. Pair it with an accessibility scan and fix the short list of repeated issues that usually surfaces.

FAQs
FAQs
What does the Accessibility Widget do?
It adds a floating menu to your Squarespace site that lets visitors adjust text size, spacing, contrast, colours, motion, images, and navigation settings. Preferences are saved between visits, so returning visitors keep their settings.
Do I need coding knowledge to install it?
No. You copy a single embed code from Common Ninja's editor and paste it into a code block or code injection area on your Squarespace 7.1 site.
Does an accessibility menu make my site WCAG compliant?
Not on its own. It helps visitors adapt how they view your pages, but underlying issues such as missing alt text, unlabelled form fields, and low-contrast buttons still need fixing in your site itself. Common Ninja also offers a free accessibility checker that scans a page against automated WCAG 2.2 checks.
Can visitors use the menu with a keyboard?
Yes. The whole menu is designed to work by keyboard, which matters for visitors who do not use a mouse.
Will it slow my site down?
The widget loads as an embed and is designed to be lightweight, but it is sensible to test your page speed after adding any third-party script.
Is the Accessibility Widget free?
Common Ninja offers a free plan with usage limits and branding. Paid plans remove the branding and raise the limits; check the Common Ninja site for current pricing.
