Re: Error in Wix website

Hello Vera,

It's good to hear that you're working on making your websites meet WCAG. Note that accessibility evaluation tools ("validator") can only check *some* WCAG accessibility requirements.

Web accessibility evaluation tools can not determine accessibility, they can only assist in doing so.[1] No tool alone can determine if a site meets accessibility standards. Knowledgeable human evaluation is required to determine if a site is accessible.[2]

More about evaluating for WCAG is in:
* Easy Checks – A First Review of Web Accessibility <https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/preliminary/>
and linked from:
* Evaluating Web Accessibility Overview https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/


It seems like the CSS validation errors have to do with Wix. That's not something that we can help you with. We encourage you to encourage Wix to make their website "authoring tool" meet Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) <https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/atag/> and provide valid CSS.

Best regards,
~Shawn
