Frequently Asked Questions

An accessibility statement is a public declaration describing your website's accessibility status, conformance level, known limitations, and how users can report accessibility barriers. It is recommended by the W3C and required by many accessibility laws including the European Accessibility Act.

In many jurisdictions, yes. The European Accessibility Act requires digital accessibility statements. The EU Web Accessibility Directive mandates them for public sector websites. While the ADA in the US does not explicitly require one, having an accessibility statement demonstrates good faith effort and provides users a way to report issues.

Level AA is the most widely recommended and legally referenced conformance level. It includes all Level A criteria plus additional requirements for color contrast, resize text, and more. Level AAA is the highest standard but is not required by most laws as it may not be achievable for all content types.

You should update your accessibility statement whenever you make significant changes to your website, complete a new accessibility audit, fix previously reported issues, or at least annually. Include the date of the last update in your statement.

No. The accessibility statement is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is transmitted to any server. Your organization details stay completely private.

Why Every Website Needs an Accessibility Statement

An accessibility statement is more than a legal checkbox. It communicates your organization's commitment to digital inclusion, provides transparency about your current accessibility status, and gives users with disabilities a clear path to report barriers they encounter. The W3C provides a template and guidance for creating effective accessibility statements, and this tool follows that template closely.

What Should an Accessibility Statement Include

A comprehensive accessibility statement should include your organization's commitment to accessibility, the WCAG conformance level you target, any known limitations or areas where you fall short, contact information for reporting accessibility issues, and the date the statement was last reviewed or updated. Optional sections can cover compatibility with assistive technologies, third-party content limitations, and the enforcement procedure applicable to your jurisdiction.

Legal Requirements Around the World

The European Accessibility Act, effective from 2025, requires accessibility statements for digital products and services across EU member states. The EU Web Accessibility Directive already mandates them for public sector websites. In the United States, while the ADA does not explicitly require an accessibility statement, it demonstrates due diligence. Section 508 applies to federal agencies. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in Canada and the Equality Act in the UK also influence accessibility obligations.

Best Practices for Accessibility Statements

Place your accessibility statement in an easily discoverable location, typically linked from your website footer. Use plain language that is understandable by non-technical users. Be honest about known limitations rather than making vague claims of full compliance. Provide multiple contact methods for reporting issues, and commit to a specific response timeframe. Review and update the statement regularly, especially after audits or significant website changes.
