Why do I need this Statement?
You can use this to create your own Accessibility Statement on your website that shares that they are aware of disability limitations and how to work with them. If a customer finds a disability digital barrier, they have away to contact your webmaster and get the information they need. This helps make your website ADA Compliant.
What do I do with this Statement?
Much like a Terms of Use, privacy policy, or cookie policy you find on all websites, websites that are ADA Compliant also have an accessibility policy with their accessibility statement. Many times people don’t know what to say. Many times they have not addressed ALL the accessibility issues on the website yet. That’s why our free one can be used to create your own.
