Installation Methods

1. Wix App Market Installation (Recommended)

  • Navigate to the Wix App Market and search for "accessiBe: Web Accessibility"
  • Click "Add to Site" and follow the activation process
  • This method provides quick setup with customizable UI available in 33 languages

2. Custom Code Installation

  • In your Wix dashboard, go to Settings > Advanced > Custom Code

Key Features of Accessibe on Wix

AI-Powered Remediation: AccessWidget automatically scans your Wix site and remediates accessibility barriers in real-time, addressing issues like:

  • Visual adjustments: Contrast, brightness, and color modifications
  • Text customization: Resizing, spacing, and font changes
  • Screen reader optimization: Enhanced compatibility with assistive technologies
  • Navigation improvements: Keyboard navigation and focus management

Wix's Built-in Accessibility Features

While Accessibe provides comprehensive overlay solutions, Wix also includes native accessibility features:

  • Full keyboard functionality across all site elements
  • Automatic DOM ordering for screen reader compatibility
  • Built-in ARIA attributes for enriched user experiences
  • Heading tag structure for proper content navigation
  • Alt text support for images
  • Skip to content keyboard shortcuts

Important Note: While Wix templates start with accessibility foundations, user-added content (like images without alt text) can impact compliance. Accessibe helps bridge this gap by continuously monitoring and adjusting your site's accessibility.
