Fixing Info and Relationships on Wix (WCAG 1.3.1)

Structure you can see — headings, lists, tables, form labels — must exist in the markup too, not be simulated with font size and colour alone.

Why it matters

The expensive version of this failure is in the checkout form. A field whose label is not programmatically associated leaves a screen reader user guessing what to type, and they abandon at the payment step. That is a lost order, at the point in the funnel where the customer was most committed.

Wix — where to look

Editor, the paragraph and heading style selector on a text block.

What to do

Use heading styles in sequence and set the visual size from the style panel.

Verification status

Not yet confirmed against a live installation. The paths and setting names below describe the general structure of Wix and menu names vary by version, theme and plugins. Where we have checked a step against the platform's own source, this box says so and links to it.

How to verify the fix

  1. Click each form label. If the cursor jumps into the associated field, the association exists.
  2. List the page's headings in a browser accessibility inspector and check the order is sequential.
  3. Disable CSS and confirm the page still reads as a sensible document.
