Accessibility statement examples

The hardest part of writing an accessibility statement isn't the structure — it's knowing how honest phrasing actually sounds. Below are three worked examples for common situations: fully conformant, partially conformant, and actively remediating. Names are illustrative; the language is real.

Example 1 — SaaS company, partially conformant (most common)

This is the status most real businesses should honestly claim — and it's a completely normal, defensible one.

Accessibility Statement for app.examplesaas.com

Last updated: 3 March 2026 · Next review: 3 September 2026

ExampleSaaS Inc. is committed to making app.examplesaas.com accessible, in accordance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Conformance status: This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means most of the content meets the standard, with specific exceptions listed below.

Known limitations:

Some data-visualization charts in the analytics dashboard do not yet have full text alternatives (relates to Success Criterion 1.1.1). We expect to resolve this by Q3 2026.
Two third-party embedded widgets (payment processor, live chat) are outside our direct control; we are working with those vendors on remediation.

Example 2 — E-commerce store, actively remediating (not yet conformant)

Publishing an honest "not conformant, here's the plan" statement is far better than silence — and better than an inaccurate "fully accessible" claim a five-minute check would disprove.

Accessibility Statement for shop.examplestore.eu

Last updated: 12 January 2026 · Next review: 12 April 2026

ExampleStore B.V. is committed to making shop.examplestore.eu accessible, in accordance with Directive (EU) 2019/882 (the European Accessibility Act) and EN 301 549.

Conformance status: This website is currently not conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We are in an active remediation program based on a self-audit completed 12 January 2026, and expect to reach partial conformance by mid-2026.

Feedback: We welcome your feedback on accessibility barriers you encounter. Email: [email protected]. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

Example 3 — B2B software, fully conformant, dual EU+US market

Fully conformant is achievable, but only claim it if a real audit backs it up — this status invites the most scrutiny if it's wrong.

Accessibility Statement for examplecrm.com

Last updated: 20 February 2026 · Next review: 20 February 2027

ExampleCRM Ltd. strives to conform examplecrm.com to WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and is currently fully conformant based on a combined automated and manual audit completed 15 February 2026, including keyboard-only and screen-reader testing.

Ongoing effort: Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time claim. New features are checked against WCAG 2.2 AA before shipping, and we re-run a full audit quarterly.

Notice the pattern across all three examples, regardless of conformance status:

A named standard (WCAG 2.2 Level AA) and an honest status — never a vague "we care about accessibility" with no claim you can be held to.
A dated preparation and review date, so the statement doesn't look abandoned.
A real, monitored contact channel with a stated response window.
Specificity in the known-limitations section — a success criterion reference and a rough timeline, not just "some issues exist."

FAQ

Should I claim "fully conformant" if I'm not sure?

No. Claim "partially conformant" with a specific list of known gaps unless a real audit — even a thorough self-audit — supports "fully conformant." An inaccurate full-conformance claim is worse for credibility than an honest partial one.

Can I copy one of these examples directly?

Use them as a model for tone and structure, not a copy-paste source — the specifics (your standard, your actual known limitations, your contact details) need to reflect your real site. Our free generator or the full kit's templates give you an editable starting point built for that.

Are these real company statements?

No. These are illustrative examples with fictional company names, written to show realistic, honest phrasing patterns — not statements copied from any actual business.
