How to fix region on Wix Studio

Steps for Wix Studio

1. In Wix Studio, each canvas Section is mapped to a landmark. Open the Studio Editor and ensure all visible content blocks (text, images, buttons) are placed inside a Section rather than outside all sections at the body level.
2. Select any Section → open the Inspector panel → give the section a descriptive 'Aria Label' so it is announced correctly by screen readers.
3. Use the Accessibility panel (Help → Accessibility Checker) to detect any remaining orphaned content.
4. For custom-coded panels or components (using Velo/Dev Mode), manually add `role` and `aria-label` attributes in your JavaScript or HTML component code.

What is region?

Landmark regions are special HTML tags — like `<header>`, `<main>`, `<nav>`, `<aside>`, and `<footer>` — that divide a page into named zones. Screen readers and assistive technologies use these zones as a navigation menu, letting users jump straight to the area they need (e.g. "skip to main content") instead of listening to every element. The WCAG "region" rule fails when any visible content sits outside of all these landmark zones — meaning a portion of your page is effectively invisible to screen-reader navigation.

Approximately 7 million Americans rely on screen readers, and "landmark navigation" is one of the primary ways they move through a web page. When content sits outside landmarks, those users cannot find or reach it at all — a direct barrier that can expose your store to accessibility lawsuits under the ADA (Title III) and similar laws in Canada, the UK, and the EU. Beyond legal risk, accessible stores convert better: removing navigation barriers keeps more users on the page and completing purchases. Google also uses page structure as a quality signal, so a well-structured landmark layout can reinforce your SEO.
