This generator produces a template you complete with your own accurate details. It is general information, not legal advice. Publish the statement at a stable URL (e.g. yoursite.com/accessibility) and keep your supporting audit records on file.
What is an accessibility statement?
An accessibility statement is a page on your website that says, plainly, how accessible your site is: which standard you measure against, whether you meet it, what still needs work, and how someone who hits a barrier can reach you. It is the public-facing counterpart to the actual accessibility work — the part users and regulators can see.
Under the European Accessibility Act, a published statement is expected practice, and in some member states it carries its own weight in law. France, for instance, treats a missing statement as a separate €25,000-per-year penalty, independent of any fine for the site itself not conforming. Even where no fixed penalty applies, a clear, dated statement backed by real audit records is exactly the documentation an enforcement authority looks for.
What a good accessibility statement includes
The generator produces all four sections of the EU model statement — the same structure regulators recognise.
Conformance status
A clear statement of whether your site is fully, partially, or not yet conformant with the standard — the heart of the statement, and the part that must be honest.
Non-accessible content
A plain list of the parts that don't yet meet the standard, so users know what to expect and regulators see good faith. Run a scan to find these fast.
How it was assessed
How and when you evaluated the site — self-assessment, a third-party audit, or an automated scan — with the date the statement was prepared.
Feedback & contact route
A way for users who hit a barrier to reach you and request content in an accessible format. Required by EU practice and a strong good-faith signal.

Accessibility Statement FAQs
What is an accessibility statement?
An accessibility statement is a page on your website that declares how accessible your site is, which standard you measure against (such as WCAG 2.1 AA / EN 301 549), any known limitations, and how users can give feedback or request help. It signals good faith, gives users with disabilities a contact route, and is expected practice under EU accessibility rules.
Does the European Accessibility Act require an accessibility statement?
Publishing an accessibility statement is the expected practice for services covered by the European Accessibility Act, and it is a strong signal that you are meeting your obligations in good faith. Enforcement is national: France, for example, imposes a separate €25,000-per-year penalty specifically for a missing accessibility statement, on top of fines for non-conformance. Even where no fixed penalty exists, a published statement plus supporting audit records is the documentation regulators look for.
Is this accessibility statement generator free?
Yes — it runs entirely in your browser, with no account and no sign-up. You fill in your details, the statement builds live, and you can copy the text, copy the HTML, or download a ready-to-publish HTML file. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
What should an accessibility statement include?
A complete statement, following the EU model structure, includes: a conformance status (fully, partially, or not conformant with the standard); a list of any non-accessible content; how and when the site was assessed; and feedback and contact information so users can report barriers. This generator produces all four sections.
What standard should my accessibility statement reference?
For the web, the answer is almost always WCAG 2.1 Level AA. It is the standard the European Accessibility Act references through EN 301 549, and the same benchmark used by the ADA in the US and AODA in Canada. The generator lets you frame the statement for the EAA/EN 301 549, WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA, or ADA/Section 508.
Should I claim my site is fully accessible?
Only if it genuinely is. Declaring "fully conformant" when your site still has gaps is worse than an accurate "partially conformant" statement — it can undermine the good faith the statement is meant to show, and it misleads users who rely on it. Be honest about known issues and show that you are working on them; that is what regulators and disability advocates expect.
Where do I publish the accessibility statement?
Publish it at a stable, easy-to-find URL — commonly yoursite.com/accessibility — and link to it from your website footer so it is reachable from every page. Keep the date current and update the known-issues list whenever your site changes; a statement dated two years ago with no updates signals neglect rather than good faith.
Does a statement make my website compliant?
No. An accessibility statement documents your conformance and your feedback route — it does not, on its own, make the underlying site accessible. It works alongside the actual work: scanning your pages against WCAG 2.1 AA, fixing the issues, and keeping supporting audit records. Use the statement to declare where you stand, not to substitute for the fixes.
