accessibility

The Housecats Podcast Network (“we,” “our,” “us”) is committed to ensuring that our website—thehousecatspod.com—is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We believe in providing an inclusive digital experience and continue to improve accessibility across our platform.

 

1. Our Accessibility Commitment

We aim to meet or exceed the standards outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the widely recognized benchmark for website accessibility.

This includes ensuring that our website is:
• Perceivable – Information and UI elements are presented in ways users can understand.
• Operable – Users can navigate and interact with the site regardless of ability.
• Understandable – Content and navigation function predictably and clearly.
• Robust – The site works well with assistive technologies and various devices.

 

2. Measures We Take

To support accessibility, we:
• Use Wix’s built-in accessibility tools and audits
• Maintain semantic structure and proper heading hierarchy
• Provide alt text for images when appropriate
• Ensure adequate color contrast
• Support keyboard navigation
• Structure forms with clear labels
• Review new features for accessibility impact
• Test across screen readers and assistive technologies when possible

 

We regularly review site updates and new content for accessibility compliance.

 

3. Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing effort.

We continually update our site as technology evolves, as standards change, and as new content is added. We welcome user feedback to help us identify areas needing attention.

 

4. Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content may not yet be fully optimized, such as:
• Third-party widgets or embeds (e.g., YouTube players, podcast players, booking tools)
• Archived media content without transcripts
• Older blog posts or legacy elements still undergoing updates

 

We cannot control the accessibility of third-party tools, but we review alternatives when possible.

 

5. Assistive Technologies

Our site is designed to work with commonly used assistive technologies, including:
• Screen readers (e.g., VoiceOver, JAWS, NVDA)
• Zoom and text scaling tools
• Keyboard-only navigation
• Browser accessibility plugins

 

If you experience issues with any assistive technology on our platform, please let us know.
