Accessibility Statements

An accessibility statement explains your organization’s efforts to make digital content usable for people with disabilities. It shows customers, users, and legal reviewers that accessibility is a priority.

Posting a statement is also a recommended step in legal risk management, endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It creates transparency, builds trust, and supports open communication with your audience.

We help you choose the right type of accessibility statement for your needs and ensure it’s easy to understand, honest, and useful.

A templated accessibility statement provides a basic way to communicate your commitment to digital accessibility. These statements are widely available and written to apply to a broad range of organizations, but they may not reflect your unique users, content, or accessibility work.

You can view WeCo’s free accessibility statement example to see what this looks like. While a template is better than having no statement at all, we recommend using a customized version for greater accuracy, legal clarity, and user trust.

WeCo provides a free Accessibility Statement for clients who complete a Manual Accessibility Audit. We also offer annual statement tune-ups at no charge for clients with an active audit.
