At NPS Design Studio, accessibility isn’t something we tack on at the end of a project. It’s part of how we build from the very beginning.
That’s one of the main reasons we work in Wix Studio.
If your goal is to have an ADA compliant website design that actually performs—not just checks a box—the platform you build on matters more than most people realize. Wix Studio gives us the tools to do it right.
Why We Chose Wix Studio
We’ve worked with a lot of platforms, and here’s the honest truth—most of them make accessibility harder than it needs to be.
Wix Studio is different.
It allows us to build websites with proper structure, clean layouts, and accessibility built into the workflow. We’re not relying on patches or plugins to fix problems later. We’re creating websites that are accessible from the start.
That changes everything—not just for compliance, but for how your site actually works.
The Accessibility Tools We Actually Use
What we appreciate about Wix Studio is that the tools aren’t just there—they’re usable in a way that supports real accessibility work.
We’re able to control heading structure, alt text, semantic layout, and responsive behavior in a way that aligns with accessibility best practices. That gives us a strong foundation right out of the gate.
There are also some key features that make a big difference in real-world usability.
Every interactive element—like buttons—has a dedicated place for an accessible name. That’s what screen readers rely on to tell users what an action does. Without it, navigation becomes confusing or even unusable. Having that built in helps us ensure every interaction is clear and intentional.
Wix Studio also includes an accessibility wizard that scans the site and shows exactly where issues exist and what needs to be fixed. It’s not just a generic report—it actually helps guide the process, which makes it much easier to catch and correct problems early.
And because we’re certified in accessibility, we don’t stop there. We go beyond the tools and test for real-world usability—things like keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, page speed, and how users actually interact with the site.
That’s where a lot of agencies stop short. We don’t.
What This Means for ADA Compliance
Using Wix Studio allows us to build toward ADA compliant website design in a way that’s realistic and sustainable.
It helps us follow WCAG guidelines more effectively, reduce common accessibility issues, and maintain compliance as your website grows and evolves.
It doesn’t replace expertise—but it gives us the right foundation to do things the right way.
Why Accessibility Also Improves Performance
One thing we explain to clients all the time is that accessibility isn’t separate from performance—it’s part of it.
When your website is structured properly and easy to navigate, everything improves. Search engines understand your content better, users stay longer, and your site becomes easier to interact with across devices.
That directly impacts your SEO, your engagement, and ultimately your conversions.
