Optimizing Accessibility with Layover Tools – Quick Improvement, but Not Full BFSG Compliance

Implementing the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) presents significant challenges for companies. Digital accessibility demands precise and in-depth adjustments to website infrastructure, involving considerable costs and time-consuming measures. Our navable Layover Tool enables rapid accessibility optimization by immediately reducing key barriers for people with disabilities. Note: While layover tools aim to quickly improve web accessibility, they may not address all potential issues within the source code. We always recommend conducting a detailed accessibility analysis to ensure your website meets all relevant standards and guidelines and achieves comprehensive BFSG compliance. However, profound structural adjustments and a detailed accessibility audit are necessary to ensure BFSG compliance and avoid consequences like fines or legal warnings.

How the navable Layover Tool Improves Your Website's Accessibility – Progressive, Automatic Optimization & Individual Settings

The navable Layover Tool continuously and proactively enhances your website's accessibility. Once embedded, it automatically detects and optimizes key barriers step by step. The tool intervenes continuously, improving your website without requiring your intervention:

Automatically adds ARIA labels to buttons and input fields where they are missing, making interactive elements accessible to assistive technologies.
Progressively improves contrast to enhance readability for all users.
Automatically sets the HTML lang attribute if it is missing, ensuring screen readers use the correct language.
Optimizes keyboard navigation, allowing users to navigate your website without a mouse. It's important to understand that these automatic optimizations are a valuable first step but cannot replace a comprehensive manual review and validation as part of a full audit to address all specific accessibility requirements of your website.

Additionally, users can make numerous adjustments themselves to customize accessibility:

Flexibly adjust fonts, font sizes, and line spacing
Choose contrasts and colors according to personal needs
Activate reading mode for relaxed reading
Clearly highlight links for better orientation
Hide distracting images, videos, and animations

✅ Optimize Colors, Contrasts & Font Sizes – Immediate adjustments to improve readability for all user groups

✅ Screen Reader Support & Improved Keyboard Navigation – Increased usability for people with visual impairments and motor disabilities

✅ Dynamic, Progressive Adjustments – No deep changes to the source code required

✅ Easy Integration – Quick deployment for immediate accessibility optimization

Why a Layover Tool Alone is Not Enough for Full BFSG Compliance

With continuous, automatic improvement and individual adjustment options, the navable Layover Tool provides significantly better accessibility than before and reduces the risk of barriers and legal warnings. However, it does not replace sustainable accessibility in the code:

🚨 Not Full Accessibility – Even though the tool automatically and proactively reduces barriers, it does not guarantee comprehensive accessibility. Not all barriers are automatically eliminated.

🚨 Insufficient for WCAG 2.1 & DIN EN 301 549 – Key technical barriers in HTML code and JavaScript may still exist, even though the tool automatically fixes many issues.

🚨 Risk of Legal Consequences – Legal warnings and fines are possible if companies do not achieve full BFSG compliance. The layover tool improves the situation but does not guarantee full legal security.
