How to fix landmark main is top level on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Wix generates HTML automatically from its editor layout; you cannot directly edit the raw HTML output.
2. Open the Wix Editor and inspect which section or strip contains your primary page content.
3. Ensure no 'Header' or 'Footer' section in the Wix Editor visually or logically wraps the page body content — Wix maps these to landmark regions internally.
4. Use the Wix Accessibility Wizard (Add → Accessibility → Accessibility Wizard) to check for landmark issues it can detect and auto-fix.
5. For persistent issues, contact Wix Support and reference WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.6 / landmark structure, as the underlying HTML is platform-controlled.
6. If you use Wix Velo (developer mode), you can add `role` attributes to custom-coded sections to avoid conflicting landmarks, but the core `<main>` placement remains platform-managed.

What is landmark main is top level?

Every webpage should have exactly one "main" landmark — the HTML `<main>` tag or any element with `role="main"` — that tells assistive technologies like screen readers "this is where the primary content begins." The WCAG rule `landmark-main-is-top-level` fires when that `<main>` landmark is accidentally placed inside another landmark element (such as `<header>`, `<nav>`, `<section>`, `<aside>`, or `<footer>`) instead of being a direct child of `<body>`. Think of landmarks like a building's floor plan: the "main hall" should open directly off the entrance, not be hidden inside a closet inside a side room.

Screen-reader users rely on landmark navigation to jump straight to the main content, skipping repetitive menus and headers — a fundamental assistive-technology workflow. When `<main>` is buried inside another landmark, screen readers mis-report the page structure, the "skip to content" shortcut may stop working, and keyboard-only users are forced to tab through every navigation item on every page. This directly harms the browsing experience for customers with disabilities and exposes your store to legal risk under laws tied to WCAG 2.1 compliance (ADA in the US, EN 301 549 in the EU, AODA in Canada, and equivalents worldwide). Fixing it is also a positive signal for Google's accessibility-aware ranking considerations and demonstrates a technically well-structured page to crawlers.
