Webflow Accessibility Checker

How to audit a Webflow site for accessibility

Find the WCAG failures on a Webflow site that affect real users and search rankings.

1. 1

   Pick three representative pages

   Audit the homepage, one CMS Collection item, and one form-bearing page. They surface different failure modes.

2. 2

   Run the audits

   Submit each URL to VertaaUX. Each audit returns prioritized issues mapped to the failing CSS selector.

3. 3

   Fix in the Webflow Designer

   Open the Designer, locate the offending element by its class or selector, and apply the recommended fix — often a label, a heading-level change, or a contrast adjustment.

4. 4

   Republish and re-audit

   Publish the changes and re-run the audit on the same URL to confirm the fix landed.

Frequently asked questions

Does Webflow produce accessible code by default?

Webflow gives you accessible primitives, but it cannot enforce semantic structure or contrast for you. Heading levels, landmark roles, link text, and color contrast are decisions designers make in the visual editor — they need explicit checking.

How do I add skip links in Webflow?

Place a link element just inside the body that points to your main content's id (for example, #main-content). Hide it with CSS off-screen by default and reveal it on focus. The main element must have a matching id and be focusable with tabindex="-1".

Why do my Webflow forms fail accessibility audits?

The most common cause is missing or invisible labels. Each input needs a visible <label> tied via the for attribute or wrapping the input. Placeholder text alone does not satisfy the WCAG label requirement.

Can a CMS Collection page be accessible?

Yes. Use semantic templates — h1 for the page title, h2 for major sections — and ensure dynamic image alt text is editable per item. Verify on a few representative items rather than only the template preview.
