Questions
The honest answers.
Don't overlays fix accessibility automatically?
They change the page in each visitor's browser at load time; your source code stays broken. Practitioner surveys consistently rate them as ineffective, and regulators have acted against overlay compliance claims. See the Theater Exhibit for the record.
Does CloviAble make my site compliant?
No tool can promise that. CloviAble finds what automation can catch, helps you fix it in code, lists what needs a human, and documents the work. Compliance comes from the fixes and the human checks together.
Do I still need a manual audit?
For high-risk sites, yes, periodically. Use CloviAble between audits so the fixes land and stay landed, and so the next audit starts from a cleaner site.
Then why do you offer a visitor panel?
Some visitors like comfort tools such as larger text or extra spacing. The panel is optional, one tag, and it never claims to fix your site.
