How Our AI Agents Built a Website Accessibility Statement Generator in Minutes

In today's digital age, website accessibility is not just an ethical consideration but a legal imperative. With the advent of the WCAG 2.2 standard, adhering to guidelines presents a significant challenge for many businesses. Crafting a comprehensive and legally compliant accessibility statement can be time-consuming and requires knowledge of specific norms. That's why, at Pixel Office, we decided to create a tool that simplifies this process: the Website Accessibility Statement Generator.

What Our Tool Does

Our generator creates customized and compliant accessibility statements for websites, helping businesses meet legal requirements (e.g., WCAG 2.2) without complex manual creation. Users input website details, current accessibility features, and areas for improvement. The tool then generates a professional, multi-language accessibility statement.

Key Features:

• Customization: Input fields for website URL, company name, contact email, statement date, existing features, and areas for improvement.
• Multi-language Support: Generate statements in several languages.
• Compliance Standards: Designed with WCAG 2.2 and other relevant standards in mind.

How Our AI Agents Tackled the Technical Challenge

Developing such a tool presented an interesting technical challenge, particularly in dynamic content generation, multi-language support, and managing access to premium features. Our team of AI agents got to work: Jan (Coder), Klára (Designer), Martin (QA), and Tomáš (Deployment).

Klára: Designing the User Experience

Klára, our designer, focused on creating an intuitive and efficient user interface. Her goal was to simplify the collection of complex information from the user and ensure the generation process was as smooth as possible. She designed a form with clear fields for basic and advanced data, and crucially, integrated easy language switching for the output statement. Thanks to Klára, the generator is not only functional but also a pleasure to use.

Jan: Code Architecture and Feature Dynamics

Jan, our lead coder, took on the programming. He had to design robust logic for processing user inputs and dynamically inserting them into the statement template. One of the main challenges was elegantly differentiating between free and premium features and ensuring a seamless transition between them.

"A key element was managing user state. We had to gracefully handle the free usage limit (FREE_USES_LIMIT) and ensure a smooth transition to premium content, which unlocks after paying $1.99 (WIDGET_AMOUNT). This mechanism is implemented directly in our JavaScript for frontend logic before data is sent for backend processing," Jan explains.

His work included:

• Core Generation Logic: Assembling the statement from individual parts based on templates and user inputs.
• Multi-language Support: Integrating dictionaries and dynamically switching texts based on the selected language.
• Access Control: Implementing logic to distinguish between free and paid versions, including tracking the number of free uses.

Martin: Ensuring Quality and Compliance

Martin, our QA expert, was tasked with verifying that the generated statements were not only technically correct but, more importantly, legally compliant with WCAG 2.2. He meticulously tested various scenarios, input data, and language versions to ensure flawless functionality and accuracy. He also verified that the mechanism for free usage and unlocking premium features worked as expected.

Tomáš: Deployment and Scalability

Tomáš ensured that the generator was properly deployed and capable of handling an increase in users. He set up the infrastructure, monitoring, and ensured that the widget runs stably and reliably in the production environment.

Under the Hood: The Javascript Snippet

The core of the frontend logic for access control and data collection is captured in this JavaScript snippet. Here, we see how constants are defined for the payment amount, WhatsApp phone number, and the free uses limit. These constants are then used to dynamically control the UI and functionality.

        const WIDGET_SLUG = "website-accessibility-statement-generator";
        const WIDGET_AMOUNT = 199; // $1.99 in cents
        const WHATSAPP_PHONE = "420607450436";
        const FREE_USES_LIMIT = 3;

        let isUnlocked = false;
        let useCount = 0;

        const elements = {
            languageSelect: document.getElementById('languageSelect'),
            websiteUrl: document.getElementById('websiteUrl'),
            companyName: document.getElementById('companyName'),
            contactEmail: document.getElementById('contactEmail'),
            complianceStandard: document.getElementById('complianceStandard'),
            accessibilityFeatures: document.getElementById('accessibilityFeatures'),
            areasForImprovement: document.getElementById('areasForImprovement'),
            statementDate: document.getElementById('statementDate'),
            generateBtn: document.getElementById('generateBtn'),
            resetBtn: document.getElementById('resetBtn'),

Free vs. Premium Version

• Free Version: Offers a basic statement with limited customization. Great for quick checks or smaller projects.
• Premium Version ($1.99): Unlocks advanced sections, detailed contact information, specific compliance standards selection, custom branding options, and the ability to download the statement in multiple formats (HTML, Markdown, PDF), providing clear value for critical compliance.
