Getting Started & Usage

WCAG accessibility checklist for Wix site owners

WCAG can feel large and technical, but many improvements start with practical page checks. A Wix site owner can make meaningful progress by focusing on readability, navigation, text alternatives, forms, and contrast before moving into deeper audits.

Text and layout

  • Use readable font sizes.
  • Avoid long blocks of dense text.
  • Keep headings in a logical order.
  • Do not rely only on color to communicate meaning.
  • Check text contrast on every major section.

Images and media

  • Add useful alt text to meaningful images.
  • Avoid text trapped inside images when regular text would work.
  • Give videos captions or a transcript when possible.
  • Make icons understandable with labels or context.

Forms and actions

  • Label form fields clearly.
  • Make error messages specific.
  • Keep buttons large enough to tap.
  • Use button text that describes the action.
  • Test the form with keyboard navigation if possible.
