This site should work for everyone

Housing is not optional, so the website that helps you find it should not be hard to use. Here is the standard TheKabza.com builds to, what we know is imperfect, and how to reach a human if something blocks you.

The standard we build to

TheKabza.com aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. WCAG is the standard referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act in most U.S. enforcement, and it is the benchmark we measure against rather than a vaguer “we care about accessibility” promise.

What we have done

  • Semantic structure. Pages use real headings in order, real lists, real landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) and one h1 per page, so screen reader users can navigate by structure instead of reading linearly.
  • Keyboard operability. Every interactive element — navigation, the mobile menu, FAQ accordions, forms — is reachable and operable with a keyboard alone. A visible focus ring is always present; we never remove focus styling without replacing it.
  • Skip link. A “Skip to main content” link is the first focusable element on every page.
  • Contrast. Body text, headings and interactive labels are checked against WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI boundaries) on our dark background.
  • Images. Every meaningful photograph carries descriptive alternative text. Purely decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology rather than given filler alt text.
  • Motion. The site has subtle scroll and hover animation. All of it is disabled automatically when your operating system requests reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion), including the fade-in used on most sections.
  • Zoom and reflow. Layouts reflow to a single column and remain usable at 320px width and at 200% browser zoom, without horizontal scrolling.
  • Forms. Every field has a persistently visible label — not a placeholder standing in for one — and required fields are marked in text, not by color alone.
  • Responsive text. Type is sized in relative units so your browser or OS font-size preference is respected.

Known limitations

We would rather list these than imply the site is flawless.

  • Third-party content. Where we embed a map, a mortgage calculator, or an MLS/IDX listing feed, that content is rendered by a third party and its accessibility is largely outside our control. If an embedded tool blocks you, tell us and we will give you the same information another way — by phone, email, or an accessible document.
  • PDF documents. Some disclosure and contract documents originate as PDFs from other parties and may not be fully tagged for screen readers. Ask us and we will provide an accessible alternative format.
  • Photography. Alt text describes each image’s subject and setting. It does not describe every architectural detail in a listing photograph. If you need a fuller description of a specific property, ask and we will write one.

Testing

We test with keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom to 200%, automated audits, and the reduced-motion and high-contrast settings of the operating system. Automated tools catch roughly a third of real accessibility problems, so we treat user reports as the more important signal.

Accessibility of our service, not just our site

The website is one channel. If it is not the right one for you, the service does not change:

  • Call (512) 555-0142 and a person will search, shortlist and describe properties with you directly.
  • We can provide documents in large print or another accessible format.
  • We can arrange video walkthroughs instead of in-person showings.
  • You are welcome to bring an advocate, interpreter or companion to any meeting.

If you have a disability, you also have rights in housing itself — including the right to request reasonable accommodations and modifications. Our Fair Housing statement covers that.

Tell us when something breaks

This is the part that matters most. If any page, control or document on TheKabza.com does not work for you, we want the specific detail so we can fix it.

Helpful to include, if you can: the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser plus assistive technology you were using. We acknowledge accessibility reports within two business days and will tell you our plan and timeline, or explain honestly if something will take longer.

This statement is a template and reflects design intent. Before launch, commission an independent WCAG 2.2 AA audit and update the “known limitations” and “testing” sections with the real findings. Publishing an untested conformance claim creates legal exposure.
