Website Accessibility Statement Template

While not technically required by ADA, an accessibility statement shows good faith and is recommended by the W3C, the DOJ, and accessibility professionals. It can help in legal situations by demonstrating proactive commitment to accessibility. It also gives users with disabilities a point of contact when they encounter barriers.

Your accessibility statement should cover: your commitment to accessibility, the WCAG version and level you target (2.1 AA recommended), any known limitations and what you're doing about them, how to contact you about accessibility issues, and the date the statement was last updated.
