ADA & WCAG Compliance for Wix
Wix's drag-and-drop editor optimizes for a specific visual layout, not for the semantic structure assistive technology depends on. We rebuild the highest-traffic pages using Wix's accessible-editor features and retest after every publish.
Where the risk actually sits
Overview
Wix's editor generates a lot of absolutely-positioned, visually-arranged markup, because that's what the drag-and-drop model is built for. That approach makes it easy to place a heading anywhere on the canvas without it being marked up as a heading, and it makes reading order — the order a screen reader announces content in — diverge from the order a sighted visitor sees on screen. A second, quieter problem is templates that lean on decorative animation or image-only navigation for meaning: a value proposition or a nav label that only exists as text baked into an image never reaches a screen-reader user or a browser's find-on-page.
Source-level fixes, not a workaround.
We rebuild the structure of your highest-traffic pages using Wix's own accessible-editor tooling (heading roles, tab order, alt text fields) instead of fighting the platform, replace text-in-images with real, styleable text, and add keyboard support to interactive elements where the built-in components fall short. Because Wix can silently reset some settings on republish, we retest after every publish cycle rather than treating this as a one-time fix.
