How to fix button name on Wix Studio

Steps for Wix Studio

1. Open your project in Wix Studio. Select the button component on the canvas.
2. In the Properties panel on the right, look for the 'Accessibility' section and enter a descriptive label in the 'ARIA Label' field.
3. If editing a custom-coded section, open the code panel and add aria-label="Descriptive name" directly in the JSX or HTML of the component.
4. Use Velo (the Wix dev environment) for dynamic buttons: e.g. $w('#myButton').setAttribute('aria-label', 'Open cart');
5. Publish and validate with the axe browser extension.

What is button name?

Every button on a webpage must have an "accessible name" — a short piece of text that describes what the button does. This name is what screen readers announce aloud when a blind or low-vision user navigates to that button. An accessible name can come from visible text inside the button (e.g. "Add to Cart"), an `aria-label` attribute, or a linked text element. When a button has no accessible name — for example it contains only an icon or an image with no alt text — screen readers may announce it as simply "button," leaving users with no idea what it does. WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) requires all interactive controls to have a programmatically determinable name.

Screen reader users — a significant and growing segment of online shoppers — cannot use your store if they cannot identify your buttons. A "Search," "Add to Cart," or "Checkout" button with no accessible name is effectively invisible to them, directly costing you sales and customers. Beyond conversions, accessibility failures like this create real legal exposure: lawsuits under the ADA (US), the European Accessibility Act (EU), and equivalent laws worldwide increasingly target e-commerce stores. Google also uses accessibility signals as a proxy for page quality, so fixing these issues can contribute positively to your organic search rankings and Core Web Vitals scores. Fixing unnamed buttons is one of the highest-impact, lowest-effort accessibility improvements you can make.
