Accessibility: About the Accessibility Wizard

3 min read

Use the Accessibility Wizard to identify and fix accessibility issues on your site. This tool offered by Wix scans your site and provides actionable solutions to make your site accessible to all - including those with disabilities and impairments.

Important:

While Wix is always striving to improve our products and services, we cannot guarantee that your site will be compliant with your region's accessibility laws and regulations after using the Wizard. We recommend consulting an accessibility expert to ensure that your site is meeting the standards for your region.

Automatic scanning in the Wizard

Once you open the Accessibility Wizard, you are prompted to allow the Wizard to scan your site. This scan may take a few minutes.

The Wizard then highlights what it has found. It does this by searching through your site for components or settings that may cause issues, such as color contrast and heading definition.

This step is a great way to get started on making your site accessible, and can make a big difference to your site visitors. Learn how to scan your site with the Wizard

Actionable solutions

After you have completed the automatic section of the Wizard, you are shown a list of things to keep in mind and adjust on your site.

The Wizard highlights areas on your site to review and correct. You can see detailed guidelines on how to adjust the relevant elements and settings.

We recommend going through this section step by step, as it's a great opportunity to manually check your site for any potential issues.
