Is a Webflow accessibility widget enough for the EAA?

No. A widget puts a layer over your site, but doesn't repair the underlying code and doesn't count as structural compliance.

Does my Webflow checkout fall under the EAA?

Yes. The checkout and navigation are explicitly part of the obligation under WCAG 2.1 AA.

Does Seviranta also scan my Webflow apps?

Yes. We test the final generated HTML, theme plus apps, the way a regulator does.

Will this slow my Webflow site down?

No. We scan externally from our EU servers; no script goes on your site. 0% impact on your load speed and Core Web Vitals.

Webflow accessibility

Make your Webflow site truly accessible. EAA & WCAG, without an overlay

Webflow gives you pixel control, but no built-in accessibility: the Designer leaves aria-* off complex components by default. We find the barriers and deliver the fix in your own Custom Attributes, no widget that slows your site down.

What Seviranta does for Webflow

Where the barriers hide

Themes, extensions and forms introduce silent barriers. We find every one of them.

The fix in the source, not on top of it

Concrete repairs in your Webflow setup, not an overlay layer that only hides the errors.

No widget, no slowdown

We crawl externally from EU servers, 0% impact on your load speed and Core Web Vitals.

The truth: Webflow is not accessible by default

The Webflow Designer produces clean HTML, but on tabs, dropdowns, sliders and modals it rarely adds the right aria roles and states. The moment you build a custom component, silent barriers appear, div buttons without a role, a tab row without aria-selected, that your visitors and the European Accessibility Act won't accept.

What's really at stake

An inaccessible checkout is a direct EAA violation.
An accessibility widget doesn't count as a structural fix.
Regulators test the generated HTML, including your apps.
'We use Webflow' is not a legal defence: responsibility sits with the live webshop, not the platform.

The hidden risk of third-party Webflow extensions

Review widgets, filters, bundlers and search apps inject dynamic HTML into your frontend. In an audit that code counts in full, even though you didn't write it. That's why Seviranta scans the final result the way a regulator sees it: your Webflow theme plus all apps and dynamic content.

What commonly goes wrong on Webflow

Custom tabs without role and aria-selectedWhen you build your own tabs in the Designer, they stay plain divs. Without role="tab", aria-selected and aria-controls on the tab buttons, a screen reader can't tell these are tabs or which one is active. You add them by hand via the Custom Attributes.
Dropdowns and modals without keyboard trap managementWebflow's interactions often open a dropdown or modal without moving or holding focus. Keyboard users tab away behind the overlay and lose track of the content.
Div buttons without role and tabindexA div with a click interaction looks like a button, but isn't one. Without role="button" and tabindex="0" via the Custom Attributes, it's unreachable for keyboard and screen-reader users.
Sliders without accessible stateThe Slider component regularly lacks aria labels and status announcements, so a screen reader never announces which slide you're on or how many there are.

What a real fix looks like

Take a custom tab component you built from divs in the Designer. A screen reader then only hears 'group' instead of a tab row. The fix lives entirely in the Custom Attributes, no rebuild: set role="tab", aria-selected and aria-controls on the tab buttons.

Custom Attributes

Before

<div class="tab-link">Overzicht</div>

After

<div class="tab-link"
  role="tab"
  aria-selected="true"
  aria-controls="panel-overzicht">Overzicht</div>

What you get

Per issue: what, why and how

For every finding you see what's wrong, who it affects, which WCAG rule applies and a concrete, Webflow-aware fix, with a code example where possible.

Platform-specific detection

Our engine recognises the issues that arise specifically on Webflow, not just the generic WCAG checks.

A record that holds up

A dated overview of your scans and findings that you can show at an audit or inspection.

With a reporting tool you pay the licence and your developers to fix the issues. With Seviranta the fix is included, no double bill.

Protect your conversion and your legal standing

An app that slaps an accessibility icon over your Webflow site is a risk to your business. The facts:

Webflow accessibility widgets

Load extra external scripts that hurt your load speed (LCP) and therefore your conversion.
Mask the issue instead of fixing it, the underlying code stays broken.
Don't protect you from claims. The FTC fined overlay vendor accessiBe $1 million in 2025 for misleading compliance claims.

The Seviranta approach

0% impact on your load speed, we scan externally from our EU servers.
We fix the real source code of your Webflow templates.

We do it ourselves too

What the EAA asks of your Webflow store

Since June 2025 your webshop must meet WCAG 2.1 AA, a Webflow store is no exception. The free scan shows in 60 seconds where you stand, with the exact line that fails.

Selling in more than one country?

WCAG is the global standard. Almost every market builds on it:

EU: European Accessibility ActUS: ADAUK: Equality Act 2010

Fix your Webflow store once to WCAG and you cover the technical bar across all those markets. What differs per market is the enforcer and the fines.
