Publish an accessibility statement and audit your site for WCAG compliance

An accessibility statement documents your genuine commitment to and current status on web accessibility, paired with an actual WCAG compliance audit identifying real gaps, both a legal risk mitigation step and a genuine usability improvement for real users with disabilities.

Accessibility lawsuits are a real and growing legal risk, and beyond legal exposure, genuine accessibility improvements make your site usable for a meaningfully larger audience.

How to do it

1. 1
   Run an automated accessibility audit first

   Catches a meaningful subset of issues, missing alt text, contrast problems, missing form labels.
2. 2
   Conduct genuine manual testing too

   Automated tools catch roughly a third of real issues, manual keyboard navigation and screen reader testing surfaces the rest.
3. 3
   Fix genuine issues found, prioritized by impact

   Address the most significant barriers first.
4. 4
   Publish an honest accessibility statement

   Describing your actual current status and ongoing commitment, not overstating compliance you have not genuinely achieved.
