Accessibility Statement Generator
An accessibility audit has been completed, and the next question is: “What exactly needs to be included in the accessibility statement?” For specialists who run checks every day, that may feel routine, but drafting a statement is something many people still struggle with.

Of course, there are online tools such as the W3C statement generator or this one from BOSA. While they offer a good starting point, users run into a number of limitations. Sometimes a (legally required) section is missing, or it isn’t clear what a term actually means.
Our solution
In practice, we notice that a statement from another website or an older project is often copied. At Eleven Ways we also have our own starting point, which we use as a basis for a dialogue with the client.
To make our lives easier, we’ve now turned that knowledge and expertise into our own fill-in assistant. We’re happy to share a preview with the accessibility community.
What makes our tool better?
Here’s a small selection of features:
- Live preview: view your statement with real-time updates
- Trilingual: generates the text in Dutch, French, and English
- Legally compliant: includes all mandatory sections for public-sector bodies and is also perfect for private companies that must comply with the European Accessibility Act
- HTML and Markdown export: copy or import and edit the text in your own CMS
- Local saving: save your work to a local file for long-term storage
- Autosave: your progress is also stored in a browser session
- Relevant information and context: clear guidance for sections and fields, e.g. what “partially compliant” really means
- Predefined options and examples: so you don’t have to start from scratch
- Dark mode: a calmer, more readable interface
Test the generator
We’re currently in a beta phase. The foundation is there, but we still have plenty of plans to expand (for example, making the interface itself multilingual as well). We’d love your input: what refinements or changes would you suggest? All feedback is welcome!

Tooltips that work for everyone
Here at Eleven Ways, we often get asked for “the correct, accessible tooltip pattern”. Building accessible tooltips is a minefield — especially when you mix in rich content and screen reader quirks. Let’s examine the issues and go in search of a tooltip pattern that truly covers all our bases.
