Accessibility Statement Placeholder
Be sure to add an Accessibility Statement to your website and make it easily accessible.
An accessibility statement on a website outlines the commitment of the website owner or organization to making their website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. It typically provides information about the website's accessibility features, policies, and resources available to assist users who may encounter barriers while accessing the content or using the website's functionalities.
Key components of an accessibility statement may include:
Introduction: An overview of the website's commitment to accessibility and the importance of making web content inclusive for all users.
Accessibility Standards: Information about the accessibility standards or guidelines followed by the website, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Accessibility Features: Description of specific accessibility features implemented on the website, such as alternative text for images, keyboard navigation support, resizable text, and compatibility with assistive technologies like screen readers.
Contact Information: Contact details for users to report accessibility issues or provide feedback on the website's accessibility.
Adding an accessibility widget
An accessibility widget is a tool or feature integrated into a website or application to enhance accessibility for users with disabilities. These widgets typically offer functionalities like text-to-speech, screen reader adjustments, font resizing, color contrast adjustment, keyboard navigation enhancements, and other features that help users with various impairments interact with digital content more effectively. They aim to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use websites and applications with ease, in compliance with accessibility standards and regulations.
One option is Userway's free accessibility widget. However, if you want to be extra careful, the free widget is missing several features including the screen reader and voice navigation included in the paid plans. The paid plans will help ensure your website is in better compliance.
