How to Write an Accessibility Statement

An accessibility statement publicly documents your commitment and gives users a way to report problems — a small page that meaningfully strengthens your good-faith position.

What to include

State the standard you aim for (WCAG 2.1 AA), describe steps you’ve taken, acknowledge that some areas may still need work, and provide a contact method for accessibility issues.

Give people a way to reach you

Include an email or form specifically for accessibility feedback, and commit to a reasonable response time. Many demand letters start because a user had no other way to flag a problem.

Keep it honest and current

Don’t claim full conformance you can’t back up. Date the statement and update it as you make improvements.
