Accessibility statement

Websites built by you in Webflow

The most commonly used Webflow elements have been updated and tested for keyboard operability and screen reader support. Those elements include Tabs, Dropdown, Image, Text Link, Link Block, Button, Section, List, List Item, Collection List, Navbar, and Slider. Sites using these accessible elements conform to levels as high as WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Ultimately, when building an accessible site, the power lies in the hands of the builder. Webflow gives you the power of HTML and CSS in a visual canvas, giving you the control to make accessible choices that generate semantic code. Our team is actively working on making sure all elements a Webflow user can use to build their site are as accessible as possible — without the need for custom workarounds — along with tools to guide users to make more accessible decisions.‍

Explore the list of accessible Webflow elements, and see our roadmap for making more elements accessible, in Webflow University.‍

We've also added a suite of features and auditing tools to help you get started with building a more accessible website. Those features and tools include text color contrast, alt text, and proper heading structure.‍

The Webflow product

We acknowledge our responsibility to empower disabled people to use our product.

As an organization, we’re actively building a roadmap to make accessibility improvements across our product. Currently, the Webflow Designer does not fully support assistive technology, and we continue to work to improve support.

We’re also creating an internal training series to better educate our team, and we’re incorporating accessibility practices into our product design and development processes to make progressive and meaningful change.

Webflow’s own websites and webpages

We aim to adhere our websites — the Webflow homepage, Webflow University, our blog, and other marketing pages — to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Starting in January 2021, we’ve made continuous efforts to improve our website content to be more compliant with Level AA. In Webflow University, we’re continually adding transcripts to all lessons, and we’re adding alternative (alt) text to all images in articles. Lastly, we're building an internal checklist based on WCAG guidelines to help us audit all of our sites. Once the audits are complete, we’ll work to improve any sites or pages that are not up to Level AA standards.
