Dyslexia-friendly font option

Dyslexia-friendly font (option) is adding a toggle that lets the user enable a font some people with dyslexia find more readable (e.g. OpenDyslexic), and/or an enhanced-readability mode (increased spacing between letters, words and lines). We implement it as a user CHOICE with the setting saved, not forcing it on anyone. Honestly about the evidence, this is key: research on special 'dyslexia fonts' is contradictory — there is no convincing proof that such a font objectively helps all people with dyslexia; some find it subjectively more comfortable, some do not. Meanwhile, what helps many more reliably is general readability: sufficient size, increased spacing, short lines, contrast. So it is more honest to offer this as an option of choice and simultaneously improve general readability, rather than pass off the font as a solution to the problem. Honestly about the effect: we give convenience to those for whom it is more comfortable; one cannot 'cure dyslexia' or guarantee improved reading for everyone. Honestly about coverage: this is one small option, not all of accessibility. Honestly about implementation: a toggle + correct loading of the font/styles + saving the choice; depends on the layout. Honestly about access: access to the styles/templates is needed. An important boundary: this is a font/readability option; contrast is 809, sizes/themes are 825. Picture this: instead of 'the font is uncomfortable for some readers, and there is no choice' — the user themselves enables a comfortable variant. The base price starts from 8,000 ₽ (depends on the layout).

• The current font is uncomfortable for some readers with dyslexia.
• No choice of a more readable variant.
• Small spacing and dense text hinder reading.
• The font is forced on everyone, with no way to switch.

• A toggle to a dyslexia-friendly font (option)
• An enhanced-readability mode (letter/word/line spacing)
• Saving the user's choice
• Correct loading of the font/styles without breaking the layout
• Honest informing (an option of choice, not a 'cure')
• Indicating boundaries (evidence is mixed; general readability matters more)
• Verification on real pages
• Handover and review with you

• The user can enable a comfortable font/mode
• The choice is saved between visits
• General readability is improved in parallel
• A useful option of choice (not a guarantee for everyone)

• We look at the typography and layout; collect access
• We add the font toggle/readability mode, save the choice
• We verify, honestly explain the option's status, review with you

• Does a special font definitely help with dyslexia?

  Honestly — there is no unambiguous proof. Research on 'dyslexia fonts' is contradictory: some find it subjectively more comfortable, some do not. General readability helps many more reliably: size, spacing, short lines, contrast. So we make it an option of CHOICE and improve readability in parallel, rather than promise a 'solution to the dyslexia problem'.

• Then why do it at all?

  Because choice is useful: for those who find such a font or increased spacing subjectively more comfortable, we give this possibility without forcing it on others. It is an inexpensive option that increases convenience for some users — honestly, without exaggerating its effect.

• Will this make the site accessible for people with dyslexia?

  This is one small option, not all of accessibility. People with dyslexia and cognitive specifics are helped more by plain language (823), cognitive accessibility (822) and good general readability. A font option is a nice addition, but honestly: not a replacement for that work.
