What Is the Apidly Accessibility Statement Generator?
The Apidly Accessibility Statement Generator creates comprehensive accessibility statements for websites, web applications, and digital services.
The generated statement documents your commitment to digital accessibility, your current level of WCAG conformance, specific known limitations, the steps you are taking to address them, and the mechanisms through which users can report barriers.
The generator produces statements meeting the EU Web Accessibility Directive, ADA, Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act requirements.
Why Your Business Needs an Accessibility Statement
An accessibility statement serves multiple important functions, both legal and practical.
The EU Web Accessibility Directive requires all public sector websites to publish an accessibility statement in a specific format. The European Accessibility Act extends accessibility requirements to private sector digital services starting in 2025.
In the United States, ADA lawsuits targeting website accessibility have increased dramatically, with thousands of federal lawsuits filed annually.
While the ADA does not prescribe a specific format, publishing a statement that documents your efforts demonstrates good faith that courts view favorably.
Section 508 requires US federal agencies and contractors to ensure digital accessibility and document compliance.
Beyond legal requirements, an accessibility statement is a practical resource for users with disabilities. It tells them what to expect, what assistive technologies are supported, and how to get help.
An accessibility statement demonstrates organizational commitment to inclusion. It signals to customers, partners, and regulators that accessibility is a genuine priority.
This is increasingly important as accessibility factors into procurement decisions, brand perception, ESG reporting, and talent acquisition.
Key Features and Capabilities
WCAG version selection supports both WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2. The generator organizes compliance status by WCAG principle: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
Conformance level documentation covers Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. The generator explains each level and documents which criteria are fully met, partially met, or not yet met.
The output follows the W3C recommended model accessibility statement structure.
Known limitations sections let you honestly document areas where your site falls short. For each limitation, capture the issue description, affected functionality, applicable WCAG criterion, reason, available workaround, and remediation timeline.
This transparency builds credibility with regulators and users.
Alternative access methods describe available accommodations. This includes screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation support, text alternatives, captions and transcripts, high contrast support, and text resizing.
Contact information for requesting content in alternative formats is included.
The feedback mechanism describes how users report accessibility barriers. The generator integrates with existing contact systems or provides a standalone accessible form.
The feedback form itself meets WCAG 2.1 AA requirements, ensuring users are not blocked by an inaccessible reporting mechanism.
Enforcement body contact information is included as required by the EU Web Accessibility Directive. The generator identifies the relevant national body based on jurisdiction.
Annual review scheduling sets up automated reminders to review the statement at least annually, after redesigns, after audits, or when material changes occur.
How It Works
Select your organization type and applicable regulations. The generator determines which elements are mandatory based on your entity type and jurisdictions.
Document your current accessibility status through the guided assessment. The questionnaire walks through WCAG success criteria at your target conformance level.
For each criterion, indicate whether it is fully met, partially met, or not yet addressed. For partial and unmet criteria, provide details.
Describe known limitations and remediation plans. For each gap, provide a user-facing description, affected content, current workaround, and expected resolution date.
Configure the feedback mechanism. Choose email, contact form, phone, postal address, or the built-in accessible form.
Specify your target response time for accessibility inquiries and the escalation path.
Review and publish the generated statement. The output includes all elements mandated by applicable regulations.
Publish as a dedicated page linked from your footer. The generator provides placement guidance to ensure the statement is easy to find.
