Accessibility widget for Webflow

Webflow gives designers real control over structure and interactions, which is great for accessibility when it is planned and rough when it is not. Complex interactions, custom dropdowns, and decorative sections can leave keyboard and screen reader users behind.

ClearPath adds to Webflow through the project-wide Custom Code area, so the widget ships to every published page the moment you publish.

How to add ClearPath to Webflow

  1. Open your Webflow project, click the settings gear, and go to Project Settings, then Custom Code.
  2. Paste the snippet into the Footer Code box, which injects before the closing body tag.
  3. Click Save Changes.
  4. Publish your project to the live domain or the webflow.io staging URL, since Custom Code only runs on published sites, then confirm the button appears.

Where Webflow sites usually fail

  • Interactions built with Webflow's native Interactions panel (dropdowns, sliders, tabs built from divs) often respond to mouse hover and click events only, so keyboard users tabbing through the page cannot open them and screen readers announce nothing when they trigger.
  • Symbols and CMS Collection Lists get reused across dozens of pages with the same generic alt text or empty alt attributes on Collection images, so a screen reader user hears the same repeated announcement or nothing at all as they move through a product grid or blog list.
  • Custom form blocks styled through the Designer frequently lose their connection between label and input once a designer wraps fields in div-based layout containers, so error messages that appear after a failed submit are never read out to screen reader users.
  • Decorative background sections and shape divs added purely for visual layout get built as real DOM elements without aria-hidden set, which means screen reader users have to sit through announcements of content that carries no information.

Why Webflow sites choose ClearPath

  • Footer Code in Project Settings applies to every page, so you set it once.
  • The widget does not touch your Webflow interactions or class structure, it layers on top.
  • Good fit for client sites, hand over a project that already has accessibility controls in place.
  • Per-site analytics show which tools visitors use, helpful when you report back to a client.

Questions

Why does ClearPath not appear in the Webflow Designer preview?

Custom Code only runs on the published site, not inside the Designer or its preview. Publish to your staging or live domain and the widget will show up.

Should I use Footer Code or Head Code in Webflow?

Use Footer Code. The snippet is deferred and belongs near the end of the page, so it loads without blocking your design or interactions.

Is ClearPath enough to make a Webflow site compliant?

No. ClearPath gives visitors on your published Webflow site 25 adjustment tools, 8 disability profiles, and support for 14 languages, plus an accessibility statement built from a live scan of your pages. What it cannot do is reach into your Designer file and fix a custom dropdown built with the Interactions panel, add missing alt text to a Collection List, or rewire a form block where labels got disconnected from inputs during layout. Those fixes happen in the Designer itself. Compliance depends on the underlying markup Webflow publishes, and no widget on any platform can rebuild that for you.
