Why Every Website Needs an Accessibility Statement

An accessibility statement is a public commitment to making your website usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. While not always legally required, it serves several critical purposes:

⚖️

Legal Protection

In ADA lawsuits, demonstrating a commitment to accessibility (including a statement + remediation plan) can reduce liability. Courts look favorably on documented good-faith efforts.

🤝

User Trust

Disabled users look for accessibility statements before engaging with a product. It signals that you take their needs seriously and provides a clear feedback channel.

📋

Regulatory Compliance

The European Accessibility Act (EAA), ADA Title II, and Section 508 all expect organizations to document their accessibility status. A statement is the baseline.

🏛️

Government Contracts

Government agencies increasingly require accessibility statements alongside VPATs. Having both ready gives you a competitive edge in procurement.
