UserWay Integration for ADA Compliance

Apr 23 2026 | By: PhotoBiz Knowledge Base

How to Install the UserWay ADA Compliance Plugin on Your PhotoBiz Website

Overview

You can integrate the UserWay accessibility widget into your PhotoBiz website to help improve usability and support ADA and WCAG accessibility best practices. This widget adds tools for visitors such as text adjustments, contrast controls, and screen reader enhancements.

In this guide, you will learn how to create a UserWay account, install the widget using your PhotoBiz Website Builder, and apply additional accessibility best practices within PhotoBiz.

Please Note:

PhotoBiz is not affiliated with UserWay. For questions about pricing, settings, or other details about the plugin, you'll need to contact UserWay Support directly.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • An active PhotoBiz website

  • A UserWay account (free or paid)

  • Access to the UserWay widget script

STEP ONE

Create Your UserWay account

Create a new UserWay account or sign in to an existing account. UserWay offers both free and paid plans depending on your accessibility needs.

After setting up your account, UserWay will provide a widget script for your website. Copy the full script provided in your UserWay dashboard. You will paste this code into your PhotoBiz Website Builder in the next steps.

STEP TWO

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE in the left-hand menu. 

STEP THREE

Click TRACKING at the top of the Website Builder.

This section allows you to add third-party scripts and integrations to your website.

STEP FOUR

Paste your UserWay script into either the HEAD or BODY section of the Tracking area.

After pasting the code, click SAVE CHANGES to apply the update.

Make sure the script is placed outside of any existing code blocks. If you already have scripts such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel, place the UserWay code above or below them, not inside them.

FINAL STEP

Visit your live website to confirm the UserWay widget appears.

Once installed, you can return to your UserWay account to customize the widget’s appearance, including:

  • Icon style
  • Position on the screen
  • Colors
  • Accessibility settings

You can return to your UserWay account at any time to customize the widget’s icon, colors, position, and accessibility settings.

Accessibility Best Practices in PhotoBiz (Recommended)

While UserWay adds powerful accessibility tools to your website, accessibility also depends on how your website content is created. PhotoBiz includes built-in features that support accessibility best practices, and using them correctly is an important part of improving accessibility on your site.

Add Alt Text to Images

PhotoBiz allows you to add alt text to images used throughout your website. Alt text provides a written description of an image for visitors using screen readers and assistive technology.

Alt text should:

  • Describe the content or purpose of the image

  • Be clear and concise

  • Be added to important images, especially those that convey information or promote services

PhotoBiz also includes Ask PhotoBiz AI, which can automatically generate alt text for images. This can save time and help ensure your images include descriptive, accessibility-friendly text. You can review and edit AI-generated alt text at any time before saving.

Adding alt text improves accessibility and also supports search engine optimization (SEO).

Use Clear Headings and Readable Content

When building pages in the PhotoBiz Website Builder, use proper page titles and headings to organize your content. Clear structure helps visitors and assistive technologies understand your page layout.

Best practices include:

  • Using a clear page title at the top of each page

  • Breaking content into sections with headings

  • Avoiding large blocks of text without spacing or structure

Design With Accessibility in Mind

PhotoBiz websites are mobile-friendly and follow standard navigation patterns. To further support accessibility:

  • Avoid placing important information only inside images

  • Make sure text is easy to read

  • Use buttons and links for actions instead of image-only elements

Important Note About ADA Compliance

No single tool, plugin, or platform can guarantee full ADA or WCAG compliance. Accessibility is an ongoing process that depends on website structure, content, and third-party tools.

Using PhotoBiz’s built-in features together with an accessibility solution like UserWay can help improve the overall accessibility experience for your visitors.
