PLATFORMS SQUARESPACE

Squarespace accessibility,
checked the way visitors see it.

A WCAG 2.2 and ADA scanner for Squarespace. It tests your template, blocks and images the way a visitor’s browser renders them.

What we usually find on Squarespace.

  • Contrast from the template palette

    Site styles that set light text on light backgrounds across the whole site.

  • Headings chosen for size

    Heading levels picked for how they look, not for the page’s structure.

  • Gallery images without alt text

    Gallery and banner images left without a real description.

  • Placeholders used as labels

    Form blocks that rely on placeholder text instead of visible labels.

  • Slideshows without pause

    Index and slideshow sections that move with no pause control.

  • “Learn more” everywhere

    Buttons and links whose text doesn’t say where they go.

How the scan works.

  1. Paste your URL

    Any public page of your Squarespace site — the homepage, a gallery, a contact page.

  2. We render it in a real browser

    Chromium loads the page with your template and blocks, then runs 100+ checks against WCAG 2.2 A and AA — usually in 10–30 seconds.

  3. Fix with the evidence in front of you

    Each issue shows the element, where it is on the page and how to fix common cases.

Questions

Is Squarespace ADA compliant?

The platform can produce accessible sites, but whether yours is depends on the template, colors, images and text you choose. Scan your pages to see where they stand.

How do I fix contrast errors in Squarespace?

Change the colors in Site Styles so text meets 4.5:1 against its background (3:1 for large text). Because styles are site-wide, one change often fixes every page.

Do accessibility extensions or overlays make my site compliant?

No tool makes a site compliant by itself. An overlay changes the page in each visitor’s browser but leaves the site as it was.

Will changing my template undo my fixes?

It can — fixes made through Site Styles belong to the template. Rescan after a template change.
