How to fix label on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Open your site in the Wix Editor and click on the form element (Wix Forms widget) to select it.
2. Click 'Settings' on the form widget — each field should have a visible label; enable or edit the label text directly in the field settings panel.
3. For Wix Forms fields, ensure 'Show Label' is toggled on for every input field in the field's design settings.
4. If you use a custom HTML embed (Add → Embed → Custom Code), edit that HTML block directly and add proper <label for=""> markup inside your custom code.
5. Wix's native form builder handles label association automatically when labels are enabled, so verify by publishing and running axe DevTools on the live page.

<label for="customer-email">Email address</label>
<input id="customer-email" type="email" name="email" autocomplete="email">

<!-- OR, when a visible label is not possible: -->
<input type="search" aria-label="Search products" name="q">

What is label?

Every form field on your website — such as a search box, email signup, checkout address field, or contact form — needs a label that clearly describes what information belongs there. A "label" is either a visible text description linked to the input, or a special code attribute (like `aria-label`) that screen readers can announce. When a form field has no label at all, assistive technology users hear something unhelpful like "edit text" with no context about what to type. WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 requires all interactive elements, including form inputs, to have a name that can be determined programmatically.

Unlabeled form fields directly block customers who use screen readers, voice-control software (like Dragon NaturallySpeaking), or keyboard-only navigation — they simply cannot use your checkout, contact, or signup forms. This is a recognized WCAG 2.1 Level A failure, meaning it is among the most serious accessibility violations and creates real legal exposure under the ADA (US), AODA (Canada), EAA (EU), and similar laws — several major retailers have faced lawsuits citing exactly this issue. Beyond legal risk, it also damages conversions: any customer who cannot complete a form cannot buy from you. Additionally, Google uses accessibility signals as part of its overall quality assessment, so fixing these issues supports your SEO health too.
