The Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker plugin has introduced a feature called front end highlighting which allows users to easily identify accessibility issues on their website. Previously, the plugin would present code snippets of the problems to users, but this was often confusing for non-developers. With front end highlighting, users can click a button that takes them to the front end of their website and highlights the element with an accessibility error. This visual representation simplifies the process of identifying and understanding the problems. Additionally, the plugin offers the option to disable styles, which helps in detecting hidden elements that may not be visible on the front end. The plugin also focuses on making the tool accessible to screen reader users, with features such as easy navigation and modal windows for displaying error information. User testing and feedback from individuals with disabilities have been crucial in improving the plugin's accessibility and usability.
