Webflow gives you clean markup — but accessibility still depends on what you build. Verify yours in seconds.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) applies to e-commerce and consumer-facing services in the EU. If your Webflow store sells to EU customers, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is expected — and enterprise partners increasingly ask for proof before they sign.
Most accessibility problems on Webflow sites come from a handful of repeating issues: missing alt text on product images, generic link text like "read more", low-contrast text over theme colours, empty form labels, and missing page language. All of these are detectable automatically — that's what our scanner checks.
16 automated rules covering images, links, forms, headings, language, viewport, contrast, ARIA misuse, and more — mapped to real WCAG success criteria.
Paste your URL, get a letter grade with every issue listed by severity. No account, no email, no waiting for an audit report.
The rule set targets what EU enforcement and enterprise procurement actually look at: WCAG 2.1 AA basics you can document today.
When your scan flags a failing rule, here's where to fix it in the Webflow Designer:
| Issue | Where to fix in Webflow |
|---|---|
| Missing alt text | Select the image element → Style panel → Settings tab → Alt Text field. For CMS collection images, set it in the CMS field template. |
| Low contrast text | Select the text element → Style panel → Typography → Color — use a contrast checker and ensure at least 4.5:1 ratio. Avoid pure white (#fff) on light grey (#eee). |
| Missing heading structure | In Designer, check that heading elements use proper HTML tags (H1-H6) in the Style panel → Typography → HTML Tag dropdown. Only one H1 per page. |
| Empty form labels | Select the form block → ensure each input has a Label element. In Webflow, form fields need an explicit label — don't rely on placeholder text alone. |
| Missing page language | Project Settings → Custom Code → before </head> paste: <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en">. Or set it per-page in Page Settings. |
| Focus indicators removed | Add in Project Settings → Custom Code → before </head>: <style>*:focus-visible { outline: 3px solid #0066cc; }</style> |
Automated scanning catches roughly a third of accessibility issues — but it catches the ones that are cheapest to fix first. When you want the full picture, our e-book covers the complete checklist plus a 14-day fix plan:
