Why Accessibility Matters
Not every visitor experiences your website the same way. Some people use screen readers to hear what's on a page. Others need high-contrast text and buttons to see clearly. Making your site accessible means more people can find you, learn about your gym, and take action — like signing up or booking a class.
Accessible websites also rank better in search engines and help you stay compliant with modern web standards.
What We Do for Visually Impaired Visitors
Screen Reader Support Every Grow site includes structured metadata and schema markup behind the scenes. This gives screen readers the information they need to describe your pages out loud — things like your business name, page titles, navigation links, and button labels.
You don't need to configure this. It's built into every Grow site automatically.
Text and Button Contrast We set up your site so that text and buttons meet recommended contrast levels. That means dark text on light backgrounds (or the reverse) so everything is easy to read. This applies to headings, body text, and call-to-action buttons across your site.
Descriptive Page Structure Grow sites use proper heading levels (H1, H2, H3) and logical page structure. This helps screen readers walk through your content in the right order, so visitors understand your page the same way a sighted user would.
What We Do for Hearing Impaired Visitors
If your site includes video content, we recommend adding captions or subtitles to any media you upload. Grow sites are built to support captioned video, and all key information — like pricing, schedules, and contact details — is presented as text on the page so it's never locked behind audio-only content.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to turn on accessibility features? No. Accessibility support is built into every Grow site by default. There's nothing you need to enable.
Can I check if my site is accessible? Yes. You can use free tools like Google Lighthouse or WAVE (wave.webaim.org) to scan your site. These tools will flag any issues with contrast, missing labels, or page structure.
Does this help with ADA compliance? Grow sites follow widely accepted web accessibility best practices. However, full ADA compliance depends on your specific content and business. We recommend consulting a legal professional if you have questions about compliance requirements.
Will accessibility features slow down my site? No. The metadata and structure we add are lightweight. They have no impact on your site's speed.
Troubleshooting
If a visitor reports trouble using your site with a screen reader, check the following:
Make sure all images on your site have descriptions (alt text). You can add these in your Grow site editor.
Make sure any custom text you've added has enough contrast against the background.
Avoid using images as your only way to share important information — always include the text version too.

Important Notes
Important: Accessibility features apply to all Grow-built website pages. If you embed third-party tools or custom code, those elements may not carry the same accessibility support.
Note: We continuously improve accessibility across the platform. If you have feedback or specific needs, reach out to our support team.
Bottom Line: Your Grow site is built to be accessible to visitors who are visually or hearing impaired. Screen reader support, proper contrast, and structured metadata are included automatically — no setup needed on your end.
