Accessibility widget for Wix: Accessibility Widget & Audit
Add an accessibility widget to your Wix site and check your pages for common ADA, WCAG and EAA issues. Visitors can make text bigger, raise contrast, switch on a dyslexia-friendly font, use a reading mask or guide, stop animations and have text read aloud. The audit reads your published pages, finds missing alt text, heading problems, unnamed links and buttons and unlabelled form fields, and tells you where to fix each one in Wix. There is no page-view limit on any plan.
No tool on its own makes a site meet WCAG. The widget and the audit help you get closer; they do not replace fixing the site or testing it with real people.
Getting started
- Install Accessibility Widget & Audit from the Wix App Market.
- Open Accessibility in your site dashboard. On the Toolbar tab choose the corner, size, colour and language, then save.
- Publish your site. The accessibility button appears on every page.
- Open the Audit tab and run it. Work through the findings, then run it again.
- On the Statement tab, generate an accessibility statement and paste it into a page on your site.
What visitors can do
The toolbar is a round button in the corner you choose, with the accessible name “Accessibility menu”. It opens a panel that works with a keyboard (Alt+A opens it, Escape closes it) and with a screen reader. Each visitor’s choices are saved in their own browser and applied on every page.
- Text: bigger text in 3 steps, line height, letter spacing, a readable font (Atkinson Hyperlegible) and left-aligned text.
- Colour: high contrast in dark or light, monochrome, low saturation and high saturation.
- Content: highlight links, highlight headings, hide images (alt text stays visible), a big cursor, a reading guide, a reading mask and stop animations.
- Navigation: a strong keyboard focus outline, a page structure list of headings and landmarks, and read aloud with the browser’s own voice.
- Profiles: one click sets several tools for low vision, dyslexia, seizure safety, ADHD or keyboard use.
The toolbar comes in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and Japanese, following the page language or the language you choose.
The audit
The audit checks your published pages: page language, page titles, image alt text (including file names used as alt text), heading order, links and buttons without a name, form fields without a label, iframe titles and zoom that is switched off. Each finding names the page, shows the element and says where to fix it in Wix, for example in the Media Manager or the Editor’s heading settings.
It also lists what it cannot check: colour contrast, keyboard traps, focus order, and anything behind a login, in the checkout, in the side cart or in member areas. Wix’s own Accessibility Wizard covers some of these and skips others, so run both. See what the Wix Accessibility Wizard checks and misses.
Accessibility statement generator
Write an honest accessibility statement for your site in a few clicks: your site name, the date, what you have done, the toolbar, known limits and a contact address, in 8 languages. It makes no compliance claims. Copy it into a page on your site.

FAQ
What is an accessibility widget? A button on your site that opens a panel of display options for visitors, such as text size, contrast, a dyslexia-friendly font, a reading guide and stopping animations. It helps people change how a page looks for them. It does not repair the page underneath, which is why the app also has an audit.
Does the widget make my Wix site WCAG, ADA or EAA compliant? No tool on its own does, and we do not claim it. The widget helps visitors, and the audit detects common issues and tells you how to fix them. Wix says it cannot guarantee that a site meets your region’s laws, so ask an accessibility expert what applies to you.
Does Wix already have an accessibility tool? Yes. The Accessibility Wizard and the Accessibility Monitor are free in Wix. They do not scan some parts of a site, such as the checkout, the side cart, Velo code, apps and secondary languages, and they do not add a visitor-facing toolbar. This app adds the toolbar and audits the published pages. Use them together.
Is there a page-view limit? No, on any plan. The toolbar loads one small script and makes no requests to our servers while visitors browse, so page views cost nothing to count.
Will it slow down or break my site? It is one asynchronous script with the panel in a Shadow DOM, so it cannot change your site’s styles. If the file fails to load, nothing happens to your site.
Can I place the button where I want? Yes. Choose the
corner, size and colour from presets on Free. Pro adds any colour and
offsets. You can also open the toolbar from a link or button on your own
site that points to #accessibility.
Which audit checks does it run, and which does it not? It checks language, titles, alt text, headings, link and button names, form labels, iframe titles and zoom. It does not check colour contrast, keyboard use or pages behind a login, the checkout or the side cart.
What does the app store? Your toolbar settings and the last 2 audit results (page addresses, titles and element snippets from your public pages). Visitors’ choices stay in their own browser. See the privacy policy.
