ADA & WCAG Compliance for Webflow
Webflow's visual, div-first model makes it easy to build something that looks right and still fails WCAG underneath. We rebuild the semantic structure using Webflow's own elements, then add the ARIA and keyboard behavior custom interactions are missing.
Where the risk actually sits
Overview
Webflow gives designers precise visual control, and that control is exactly what makes accessibility easy to skip: a `
` styled and positioned to look like a heading, a card, or a button behaves identically on screen to the real element, and only the underlying markup tells the difference to a screen reader. The second recurring issue is Webflow's native Interactions panel — the dropdowns, tabs, and sliders it powers are built with mouse and scroll triggers in mind, and frequently ship with no keyboard equivalent at all, meaning a keyboard-only visitor simply cannot open them.
