To add an ARIA label attribute to your buttons in Webflow for ADA compliance, follow these steps:

  1. Select the button element: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where your button is located. Click on the button element to select it.

  2. Open the Settings panel: With the button element selected, the right-hand sidebar will display a panel called Settings. Click on the Settings tab to open it.

  3. Add the ARIA label: Within the Settings panel, you'll find a section called Attributes. Click on the "+" button to add a custom attribute. In the "Name" field, enter "aria-label". In the "Value" field, enter the text that you want to use as the ARIA label for the button. This label should describe the purpose or function of the button for screen reader users.

  4. Save and publish: After adding the ARIA label attribute, click the "Save" button at the top right of the Webflow Designer. Then, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you will ensure that your buttons in Webflow are ADA compliant with the addition of an ARIA label attribute. This will improve the accessibility of your website for users with visual impairments who rely on screen readers.
