How to fix aria input field name on Wix Studio

Steps for Wix Studio

1. Open Wix Studio and select the page containing the unlabeled input.
2. Click the input element, then open the Properties & Events panel on the right. Look for the 'Accessibility' section and fill in the 'ARIA label' field with a descriptive name.
3. For Wix Studio's native form widgets, ensure the 'Label' field is populated in the component settings — Studio auto-generates the accessible name from the visible label text.
4. For custom-coded components using Velo, add $w('#elementId').accessibility.ariaLabel = 'Your label'; in the relevant page or site code.
5. Publish and verify with axe DevTools.

What is aria input field name?

An "ARIA input field name" is the text label that screen readers and other assistive technologies announce when a user focuses on a form field — a text box, search bar, date picker, quantity field, or any other input that uses an ARIA role like `textbox`, `spinbutton`, `searchbox`, `slider`, or `combobox`. When that label is missing or empty, the field has no accessible name. WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) requires every user-interface component to have a name that programs can determine. A field without a label is essentially invisible to assistive technology users.

Screen reader users — including many customers with visual impairments — cannot understand what to type into an unlabeled field, which means they cannot complete your checkout, search for products, or fill in any other form on your site. This directly costs you sales and excludes a significant portion of your potential customers. Legally, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance (which includes SC 4.1.2) is referenced in accessibility laws and regulations in the US (ADA), EU (EAA), UK (PSBAR), and elsewhere — stores with unlabeled form fields are at real legal risk. Search engines also use accessible markup signals as part of overall quality assessment, so fixing this contributes to long-term SEO health.
