Is it possible for user to change text size? (Accessibility)

Design help General

Hi all,

I can’t find an answer on the forum to this so I’m wondering is it possible to allow a user to select from a number of font sizes which will change the font throughout the site?

I know it could be done with interactions but this would not follow to next page when navigating.

I realize all browsers have this but the client wants the ability to do do it from buttons on website rather than browser menu.

Thanks,

Niall

@Niall_Mc_Dermott did you ever find the solution to this?

I’m trying to figure it out also. As well as a contrast toggle.

The most accessible approach is to use relative units for all font sizing, set a sensible base size, permit user scaling (including up to 200%), and ensure your site remains usable and legible at all sizes. This strategy meets modern accessibility standards and provides a positive experience for all users[

Users are not looking for a mystery button on a site, rather they will use zoom functionality in the browser. Keystroke combinations or a toggle always available across all sites that don’t use fixed size elements.
