How to fix label on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Open the Wix Editor and click on the form widget that contains the unlabelled field.
2. Select the specific input element and open its Settings panel. In the 'Field Label' or 'Placeholder' field, add a descriptive label. Wix renders the label text as a visible `<label>` element in the DOM.
3. If you want the label hidden visually, use the label styling options to reduce its opacity or overlap it — do NOT delete the label text itself, as that removes the accessible name.
4. For Wix Forms (the native forms app), go to App Market → Wix Forms → Manage Fields and ensure every field has a 'Field Title' entered.
5. For custom-coded sections using Velo (Wix Dev Mode), add `element.label = 'Descriptive text'` or use `$w('#inputId').label = 'Description'` in your page code.
6. Publish the site and validate with the axe browser extension.

What is label?

Every form field on your site — search boxes, email sign-up fields, checkout inputs, contact forms — must have a label that describes what the field is for. A "label" in web terms is either a visible `<label>` element paired with the input, or a special accessibility attribute (like `aria-label`) that provides the same description invisibly. When a form field has no label at all, the browser and assistive technology have nothing to announce to the user about what that field is asking for. WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 requires all form controls to have a name that assistive technology can read out loud.

Screen-reader users — including customers with visual impairments — will hear something like "edit text, blank" when they reach an unlabelled field, with no clue what to type. This makes checkout, sign-up, and contact forms completely unusable for those customers, directly costing you sales and leads. From a legal standpoint, unlabelled form fields are one of the most frequently cited accessibility violations in ADA and WCAG-based lawsuits and demand letters targeting e-commerce stores. Google also uses accessible markup signals as a quality indicator, so fixing labelling issues supports your site's overall technical health. Fixing this is typically a quick code change that immediately improves usability for everyone, including mobile users who rely on tap-targets and auto-fill.
