How Do You Add an Accessibility Statement to a Webflow Site?
To add an accessibility statement to a Webflow site, create a dedicated page such as /accessibility, write a statement that names your target standard and current conformance status, and link to it from the site footer so it is reachable from every page. A credible statement is specific and honest: it states the standard you are working to, what conforms today, any known limitations, and how people can report a barrier.
What a Credible Accessibility Statement Includes
A statement is only useful if it is accurate and specific. Include:
- The standard you are working to, which for most sites is WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
- Your current conformance status, stated honestly rather than as a blanket claim.
- Known limitations or areas still being addressed.
- A contact method so people can report a barrier and get a response.
- The date of the last review, so readers know it is current.
- How the site was tested, including any manual testing.
How to Add the Statement in Webflow
Adding the statement in Webflow takes a few steps:
- Create a dedicated page with a clear slug such as /accessibility.
- Add the statement content with a proper heading structure and readable text.
- Link to the page from the site footer using descriptive text like 'Accessibility'.
- Keep the review date current each time you check the site.
- Update the statement after each remediation pass so it reflects reality.
Do Not Overstate Your Conformance
A statement that claims full conformance you have not verified is worse than no statement at all. It invites scrutiny and erodes trust when a barrier is found. Only claim what a manual audit supports, and describe work in progress plainly. A statement is a public claim about your site, so back it with real testing. Understand what remediation involves before you publish a statement.
