Web Accessibility also helps you create and include an accessibility statement for your site. This statement is an important part of your site for several reasons:
- Legal: Some jurisdictions may require an Accessibility Statement.
- Transparency: Show visitors your commitment to accessibility.
- Feedback: Let visitors help you make your site more accessible.
This statement generally includes:
- Your commitment to accessibility.
- A reference to what accessibility standards your site tries to meet.
- Any accessibility issues the website owner knows about and how they plan to address them.
- A list of features implemented to enhance accessibility, such as keyboard navigation, text resizing, or screen reader compatibility.
- Contact information or a form for users to report accessibility issues, request assistance, or provide feedback.
- Contact information or a form for users to report accessibility issues, request assistance, or provide feedback.
- Information on alternative ways to access content or services if certain digital features are not accessible.
- A summary of plans for regular audits, updates, or improvements to maintain and enhance accessibility.
The web accessibility plugin can generate a standard web accessibility statement for you, which you can then edit, or it can include your own statement. For details, see Start using Web Accessibility.
