Website accessibility lawsuits and demand letters have become one of the sneakiest (and fastest-growing) legal headaches for online business owners. The good news?
A clear, attorney-drafted Website Accessibility Statement goes a long way toward showing your visitors — and their attorneys — that you take digital inclusion seriously, that you've thought carefully about what you can and can't control, and that you've made it easy for someone to reach out if they hit a bump.
This plug-and-play template was drafted by an attorney (hi, that's me!) with small online businesses, creators, coaches, and ecommerce shops in mind. No confusing legalese you'll never understand. No thousand-dollar custom legal bill. Just a professional, easy-to-customize accessibility statement you can drop into your website footer today.
What's inside:
- A fully editable Website Accessibility Statement template (Word .docx) that you can customize in about 15 minutes
- Color-coded instructions so you'll know exactly what to personalize, what's optional, and where to pick between options (no guessing!)
- A plain-English rundown of WCAG 2.2 Level AA and what it actually means for your website
- Hand-picked accessibility resources and free compliance scanners so you can spot-check your site
- A list of high-impact DIY fixes that address the most common accessibility complaints — alt text, color contrast, descriptive links, and keyboard navigation

- A video walkthrough with attorney Brittany Ratelle explaining how to customize and where to post it
This is perfect for you if:
- You run a website on Shopify, WordPress, Squarespace, Showit, Kajabi, Wix, or anywhere else
- You're a creator, coach, course seller, service provider, or online shop owner
- You sell physical or digital products (or both!)

How it works:
- Buy today and get instant access to your template
- Pop it open in Word or Google Docs and follow the color-coded instructions to personalize it
- Remove the highlighting and brackets, add it to your website footer alongside your Terms and Privacy Policy, and pat yourself on the back — you just leveled up your legal
