Accessibility: Using the Accessibility Wizard in the Wix Editor
4 min read
Identify and fix accessibility issues on your Wix site using the Accessibility Wizard. This is a tool that can help you ensure that every visitor, regardless of ability, can view and navigate your site.
There are 2 sections in the Wizard that you are prompted to complete. We recommend following and completing all of the sections to improve and optimize your site's accessibility.
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. We recommend consulting an accessibility expert to ensure that your site is meeting the standards for your region.
- This article refers to the Accessibility Wizard in the Wix Editor. For information on the Wizard in Studio Editor sites, please follow this link.
Have a Multilingual site?
The Accessibility Wizard is only currently supported in your site's primary language, and cannot be accessed in secondary languages you add with Wix Multilingual. However, you can use our Checklist to improve your site's accessibility in all languages.
Step 1 | Open the Accessibility Wizard
Open the Wizard from your Editor settings to begin making your site more accessible for visitors.
To open the Accessibility Wizard:
- Select Settings at the top of the Wix Editor.
- Select Accessibility Wizard.
- Select Scan My Site on the right.
Step 2 | Fix detected issues
After your site has been scanned, you are presented with a list of detected issues. Select each issue to open the instructions, and make sure that you apply the changes when you have fixed them.
