An accessibility statement exists to show site visitors the current status of your website’s accessibility as well as any accessibility-related efforts your business is working on right now.
As customers of UserWay's AI-Powered Accessibility Widget, you are taking web accessibility seriously. It is important to let make your customers aware that you have made this a priority. It is also important that you train 2-4 customer support representatives on how to respond to accessibility concerns. If possible, set up a specific email address like "accessiblity@yourdomain.com" that will be sent directly to the trained support representatives to respond.
In just a few steps, you can generate your accessibility statement, create an accessibility page, and add accessibility links to your website footer and widget. Please follow the guide below to add an accessibility statement to your website:
Step 1: Go to https://userway.org/generate, enter your information and click the Generate My Accessibility Statement button.
Step 2: You will see your accessibility statement in your web browser as well as receive an HTML and text version of your accessibility statement via email.
Step 3: Create a new webpage on your website named Accessibility for example using the accessibility statement you generated. Make sure to check all of the data and the date, address, and phone number are correct.
Step 4: Add a link named Accessibility for example in the footer of your website to the new page created in Step 3.
Step 5: The final step is to add the link to the new accessibility page created in Step 3 to the widget itself.
