  • For custom HTML websites, insert it manually in your HTML template.
  • For platforms like Webflow, Wix, or Squarespace, use the custom code injection or site-wide code embed settings provided in your CMS.

Verify Installation

After completing the installation, open your website in a browser to verify that the AccessiYes accessibility widget appears. If the widget does not display, double-check that your widget key is entered correctly and that JavaScript is not blocked by your browser, ad blockers, or your site’s theme settings.
