To implement font size toggles (increase/decrease) in Webflow for better accessibility, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a class for each font size: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Styles Panel and create a class for each font size you want to offer as an option. For example, you might create classes like "small", "medium", and "large". Adjust the font size properties for each class to reflect the desired sizes.

  2. Add interaction triggers: Next, select the element(s) that you want to enable font size toggles for. In the Interactions Panel, click on the plus icon to add a new interaction trigger. Choose the appropriate trigger event for your toggle, such as a button click or a key press.

  3. Add interactions: Once you've set up the trigger, you can add interactions to adjust the font size. For example, you can use the "Add Class" action in the interaction to add the appropriate class to the element(s). To increase the font size, add the class that corresponds to a larger font size. To decrease the font size, add the class that corresponds to a smaller font size.

  4. Test and refine: Preview your site and test the font size toggles to ensure they are working as expected. Adjust the font sizes and interactions as needed to provide a smooth and accessible user experience.

By implementing font size toggles, you are making your website more inclusive for users with varying visual preferences and accessibility needs. This feature allows them to adjust the font size according to their comfort level, improving readability and overall user experience.

Implementing font size toggles is also beneficial for search engine optimization (SEO) as it shows search engines that you prioritize accessibility and user-friendliness.
