Consumer Facing Web Accessibility Statement

Summary

This consumer facing web accessibility statement template can be used by a business to inform its users about its goals, policies, and milestones with respect to website accessibility. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. Companies are required to make their website and apps accessible to as many users as practically possible. A policy that can be accessed by such users communicates the business' efforts, and is most effective when located adjacent to its online privacy policy and terms of service. This statement summarizes the company's achievements with respect to providing maximum accessibility to its websites and apps for all of its users (including those users whose access may be limited or prevented by virtue of a disability or other limitation). The company, among other things, iterates its compliance with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The W3C is a consortium of private and nonprofit businesses that work together to provide a set of international standards for online content accessibility.
