كتابة بيان امتثال يمكن الدفاع عنه

A conformance statement publicly records which WCAG version and level your site meets, and where it currently falls short.

The goal is not to claim perfection. An honest, specific statement builds trust and is far more defensible than a vague all-green badge.

State the exact target, for example WCAG 2.2 Level AA. A reader should never have to guess which version or tier you measured against.

Define what was evaluated: which pages, flows, and dates. A statement that covers the whole site but only tested one page is not credible.

Spell out the criteria you do not yet meet and why. Naming known issues with a remediation timeline shows a real, ongoing commitment.

Note the tools and tech you used, like axe, NVDA, and Chrome. This is the evidence that turns a claim into a tested result.

Give users a way to report barriers. A clear feedback channel is both good practice and required by several accessibility laws.

For procurement, a VPAT produces an Accessibility Conformance Report mapping each criterion to Supports, Partially Supports, or Does Not Support.

Avoid words like fully accessible. Say which criteria are met and which are partial. Overclaiming is exactly what invites legal challenge.

A statement has a date and goes stale fast. Re-audit after major releases and update the document so it always reflects reality.

Link your accessibility statement from the footer of every page, so anyone, including auditors, can find it in one predictable place.

Identify what makes a conformance statement defensible.

State the exact target, scope, methods, and known gaps, keep it dated and linked, and never overclaim. That is what holds up. Course complete! 🎯
