What's in a good accessibility statement? Where are the best accessibility statements you've come across on the web?
I'm currently writing one for the site I work on, to coincide with a redesign that's nearing completion. I haven't found many good examples of statements on other corporate sites. Some background to my site: It won't validate due to technical constraints (unreliable CMS, legacy code, third-party systems), but it's been built 'in the spirit' of web standards (i.e semantic markup, CSS for most of the layout, a few accessibility features etc). The sections I have so far in my statement: - Access keys - what are they, how to use them. - Navigation - unordered lists which degrade well, skip to content link, prominent search box, comprehensive sitemap - Standard compliance - built to HTML4.01 but will not validate, semantic markup used, WCAG compliance - Technical requirements - javascript used but degrades without, screen rez recomended for visual design but degrades - A list of the devices that the site has been tested for accessibility on. Whatdya reckon?
