Wix accessibility testing
Your website built with Wix might look great and work perfectly for most visitors. But that doesn't always mean everyone can use it.
Why accessibility matters
The site can look completely fine and still create a frustrating experience for someone else.
That's why accessibility needs to be part of how you maintain your website, not something you only think about when there's a problem.
What we test
Can visitors move through your navigation, buttons, links, forms and interactive elements without a mouse?
Can people using NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver understand your content, controls and page structure?
Can visitors understand how your page is organized and move between sections easily?
Are interactive elements clear, identifiable and usable?
Can visitors understand form fields, labels, instructions and error messages?
Do images have appropriate alternative text and does important information remain available to people who can't see the screen?
Do menus, popups, accordions, galleries and other interactive elements behave properly with assistive technology?
Have connected apps, widgets or other third-party functionality introduced new accessibility barriers?
Wix has its own accessibility challenges
A template gives you a starting point, but the finished site can change significantly as your team edits it.
Sections, headings and content need to make sense to people navigating with a keyboard or screen reader.
Contact forms, signup forms and other inputs need clear labels, instructions and useful error messages.
A new widget or integration can introduce an accessibility issue even if the rest of the page is working well.
Menus, popups, galleries and other dynamic elements need to be usable without relying on a mouse.
New pages, images, links and other updates can introduce accessibility problems over time.
Automated and expert testing
Automated testing is a useful place to start. It can identify many common accessibility issues and help your team see where problems may exist.
But a scan doesn't experience your website the way a person does.
It can't fully tell you whether a keyboard user can complete a task comfortably or whether a screen reader user understands what is happening on the page.
That's why Zylyn combines automated checks with expert testing using:
We don't just count errors. We look at the experience behind them.
Schedule a discovery callThe process
Six steps. The first three give you a clear starting point. The last three help you keep improving.
We identify the important pages and journeys across your Wix site, including navigation, key content, forms and interactive elements.
Automated checks and expert testing give you a starting point and a clearer picture of where accessibility barriers exist.
We review the results and focus on the issues that actually affect people using your site.
Your team gets practical guidance on what needs to change and where to start.
Once fixes are made, we check them again using the appropriate testing methods and assistive technologies.
Your Wix site will continue to change.
Regular testing helps you catch new accessibility problems as your content and website evolve.
A week in practice
The new form looks fine visually, but one of the fields isn't properly identified when accessed with a screen reader.
Testing picks up the issue and documents where it occurs.
Your team gets clear guidance on what needs to change.
The form is updated and tested again with keyboard and screen reader testing.
Without that check, the form could have remained difficult to use until someone complained or abandoned it.
What you get
You get something your team can actually work with.

FAQ
It is a review of how accessible your Wix website is for people with different disabilities and assistive technology needs. Testing can include automated checks, manual review, keyboard testing and screen reader testing.
Your site can change frequently as your team updates content, adds pages, changes layouts or connects new functionality. Those changes can introduce accessibility barriers that aren't obvious visually.
Automated tools can identify many common issues, but they cannot evaluate everything. Manual testing is important for things such as keyboard interaction, focus, screen reader output and the overall usability of important journeys.
Yes. The review can include the page structure, navigation, headings, buttons, links, forms and other elements that make up the visitor experience.
Yes. Third-party apps and widgets can affect accessibility, particularly when they introduce new interactive elements or content.
Yes. Forms can be reviewed for labels, instructions, keyboard access, focus, error handling and screen reader usability.
Yes. Interactive elements such as menus, popups, galleries and other dynamic components can be included in the testing scope.
WCAG 2.2 AA is the working standard for Zylyn's accessibility testing.
You receive documented findings with practical information about what needs attention. Your team can then make the changes, followed by retesting where required.
It depends on how frequently your website changes. If your team regularly adds pages, content, apps or functionality, regular testing can help catch accessibility problems sooner.
