Last Updated: [01-12-2025]
Website: [www.indipods.in]
Property: IndiPods
At IndiPods, we believe that hospitality should be inclusive. We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities and are continually improving the user experience for everyone by applying relevant accessibility standards. This statement outlines our ongoing efforts and our approach to accessibility, both online and at our physical property.
1. Our Commitment
IndiPods is dedicated to providing a welcoming environment and a positive experience for all our guests and website visitors, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use. We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as a standard for our digital content.
2. Measures to Support Accessibility
IndiPods takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:
-
Integration into our policies: Accessibility is considered in our internal policies.
-
Training: Our team receives periodic awareness training on accessibility.
-
Technical audits: We employ automated testing and manual reviews to identify and fix potential barriers.
-
Feedback loop: We welcome and act upon feedback from our guests and visitors.
3. Conformance Status
The WCAG guidelines define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. They define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. The IndiPods website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. "Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to achieve full conformance.
4. Features for Digital Accessibility
Our website incorporates several features designed to improve accessibility:
-
Keyboard Navigation: The site can be navigated using a keyboard alone.
-
Alt Text: Images contain alternative text descriptions where relevant.
-
Color Contrast: We strive to maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background.
-
Resizable Text: Text can be resized using standard browser controls.
-
Clear Structure: We use headings, lists, and other structural elements to organize content clearly.
5. Limitations & Alternatives
Despite our best efforts, some areas of our website may have limitations. We are aware of the following:
-
Third-Party Content: Some embedded content from third parties (e.g., Instagram feeds, mapping services) may not be fully accessible. We strive to choose partners who value accessibility.
-
PDF Documents: Older PDF documents (e.g., brochures) may not be screen-reader friendly. We are working to update these.
-
Older Content: Some legacy pages may not meet current standards as we work through updates.
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please contact us (details below). We will make all reasonable efforts to provide the information you need in an accessible format.
