Wix accessibility
Wix accessibility relies on the platform's accessibility wizard, semantic ADI templates, and merchant discipline on alt text and structure — Wix sites can meet WCAG 2.2 AA but only when the merchant uses the platform's built-in tools and avoids visual-only template choices.
What does accessibility mean on Wix?
Wix has invested in accessibility features (accessibility wizard, semantic ADI templates, audit panel). Failures often originate in the freely-chosen template and merchant-added content.
Known accessibility challenges in Wix
- Templates emphasising visual layout over structure
- Wix Stores variant selectors
- Inaccessible custom Velo widgets
- Decorative motion enabled by default
Step-by-step: accessibility setup for Wix
- Use the Wix Accessibility Wizard. Settings → Accessibility Wizard walks through structural issues.
- Disable decorative animations. Honor prefers-reduced-motion; Wix's default animations sometimes ignore it.
- Audit each template element. Test heading hierarchy, alt text, contrast against your live site.
Integration with this platform
