What Is an Accessibility Statement?

An accessibility statement is a dedicated page on your website that communicates your organization's commitment to making digital content accessible to people with disabilities. It typically outlines which accessibility standards you follow, the current conformance status, known limitations, and how users can report barriers or request alternative formats.

Publishing an accessibility statement isn't just a legal checkbox — it signals to users, search engines, and regulators that your organization takes inclusion seriously. This tool generates a professional, standards-compliant statement in minutes, covering WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 conformance levels.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter your organization details — Fill in your company or website name, URL, and the contact email or phone number for accessibility inquiries.
  2. Select your conformance level — Choose the WCAG version and level (A, AA, or AAA) your site targets. Most organizations aim for WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
  3. Document known limitations — List any areas of your site that don't yet fully conform, along with planned remediation timelines. Transparency builds trust.
  4. Export and publish — Download the statement as formatted text or PDF. Add it to your website footer alongside your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Tips and Best Practices

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an accessibility statement?+
An accessibility statement is a public-facing page on your website that describes your commitment to digital accessibility, the standards you follow (such as WCAG 2.1), known limitations, and how users can report accessibility issues or request accommodations.
Is an accessibility statement legally required?+
Requirements vary by jurisdiction. In the EU, public sector websites must publish one under the Web Accessibility Directive. In the US, the ADA increasingly applies to websites, and having a statement demonstrates good faith. Even where not legally mandated, publishing one is considered best practice.
Which WCAG level should I target?+
Most organizations target WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which covers the majority of accessibility needs without the more specialized Level AAA criteria. This tool lets you select your target level and generates the appropriate language.
Can I customize the statement?+
Yes. You can edit every section — including contact information, conformance level, known limitations, and remediation timelines. The generator provides a strong starting template that you can tailor to your specific situation.
Is my data stored anywhere?+
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type — your organization name, contact details, or statement content — is ever transmitted to or stored on any server.
How often should I update it?+
Update your accessibility statement whenever you make significant changes to your website, complete an accessibility audit, or address previously listed limitations. A good cadence is reviewing it quarterly.
