Your accessibility statement is more than just a compliance checkbox. It's your first and most important step toward digital inclusion, regardless of your current accessibility score.
Publishing an accessibility statement demonstrates your commitment to inclusivity and transparency, but it also provides:
Legal Protection: Transparency shows good faith and is often viewed favorably in legal contexts.
User Trust: Sharing honest progress (e.g., “We’re at 70% compliance and working toward 100%”) builds more confidence than silence.
Accountability: A public statement reinforces internal responsibility and signals external commitment to accessibility progress.
Many organizations tend to rely on a generic accessibility statement that provides minimal value. These statements typically lack transparency, omit concrete data about the current accessibility status of the domain, and often fail to meet the basic legal and compliance requirements expected of such statements.
An effective accessibility statement should serve as a clear, accurate, and accountable foundation for your accessibility efforts.
Introducing Dynamic Accessibility Statements from AccessibilityChecker.org
At AccessibilityChecker.org, we’ve built a new feature to help you create a truly compliant accessibility statement. One that meets all the requirements of accessibility guidelines and reflects the actual state of your website.
Instead of relying on generic templates, our tool guides you through a series of tailored questions about your site. Your answers allow us to generate a statement that’s accurate, customized to your specific situation, and aligned with compliance standards.
What makes it even more powerful is that your statement is kept current, automatically. We feed in real-time data from our accessibility compliance platform, which is refreshed on a weekly basis, so visitors always see your most recent accessibility status and efforts.
How to Set Up Your Dynamic Accessibility Statement
1. Log in to your AccessibilityChecker.org dashboard, go to the Certificates tab, and click Set Up in the Accessibility Statement box.
2. Follow the five guided steps to provide details about your organization, including company type, name, contact information, links to key pages like your privacy policy (if applicable), and any custom notes you’d like visitors to see.
3. Install your accessibility statement on your site by adding the provided iframe code to a dedicated page, using the simple instructions we give you at the end.
4. Once the page is live, your accessibility statement will update automatically every week with the latest results from your AccessibilityChecker.org scans.
That’s it. No more manual updates. Your visitors always see the most current information, and you save valuable time while showing your ongoing commitment to digital inclusion.
What Makes Your Accessibility Statement Fully Compliant
A legally sound accessibility statement isn’t just about words on a page, it’s about meeting clear requirements set by WCAG, ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, and the EU Web Accessibility Directive. That’s why our dynamic statements are designed to tick every box these frameworks demand.
Below is a breakdown of exactly what’s included, the legal basis behind it, and how our system ensures your statement remains accurate and compliant at all times:
