I help SaaS companies stop turning away disabled customers by making their products accessible.
Yesterday I panned accessibility statements that don't say anything. Today I'll share a tool to create a statement that's substantial and helpful. The W3C has a handy accessibility statement generator. It makes it easy to put together a good accessibility statement. It's a form you fill out. It asks for: * your company's name, website, etc. * what accessibility standard you meet, or intend to meet * whether you meet that standard today, or have work to do * how visitors can reach you regarding accessibility * etc. It creates a statement for you that you can then edit as needed, and post on your website. Use this tool to create an accessibility statement. It'll help you make a statement that's both substantial and helpful, that conveys useful information to people with disabilities and others who care about accessibility. Link is in the comments. #accessibility #law ---- Want to create an accessibility statement yourself? Use the W3C's accessibility statement generator -- link in the comments. Need a little help creating your accessibility statement? Feel free to reach out. (I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice).
I use the W3C accessibility statement generator, and I feel comfortable modifying it as needed but I am a former attorney. Accessibility statements can be used either by you or against you in court in accessibility litigation. I can't recommend this strongly enough, make sure whomever is filling it out knows what they are doing!
Really appreciate you sharing these tools, it makes it that much easier to navigate accessibility when you have resources like these at your finger tips!
