How to Implement EqualWeb`s Accessibility Script on HostGator Website
To enhance the accessibility of your HostGator website using EqualWeb`s accessibility widget, follow these steps:
Obtain the EqualWeb Script
Visit EqualWeb’s official website and sign up for their accessibility widget service.
After registration, you will receive a JavaScript code snippet that is unique to your website.
Log in to Your HostGator Account
Go to HostGator’s cPanel and log in using your account credentials.
Access Your Website’s Files
In the cPanel, open the File Manager under the "Files" section.
Navigate to the root directory of your website (usually public_html or a subfolder depending on your setup).
Edit Your Website’s HTML or Template File
Find the index.html or header.php file, or the template file that loads the common HTML section for your site.
Right-click on the file and choose Edit.
Insert the EqualWeb Script
Inside the section of your HTML code or template, paste the EqualWeb JavaScript snippet just before the closing tag.
Example:
Save and Publish the Changes
After pasting the script, click Save Changes to save the file.
If using a CMS, you may need to update or publish your changes depending on the platform.
Verify the Installation
Visit your website in a browser.
Look for the EqualWeb accessibility widget (usually appearing as an icon in the corner of the page).
Click on the widget to test the accessibility features.
Maintain Accessibility Compliance
Keep the EqualWeb widget updated to comply with accessibility standards like WCAG, ADA, and Section 508.
Monitor feedback from users to ensure the accessibility features are working as intended.
