Accessibility Statement for Webstarz
Accessibility Statement
Webstarz LLC (“Webstarz,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to making reasonable, good-faith efforts to provide websites and digital experiences that are accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities.
This Accessibility Statement explains the accessibility practices, limitations, responsibilities, and contact procedures related to websites created, maintained, or supported by Webstarz.
1. Accessibility Commitment
Webstarz strives to support digital accessibility and usability for all users, including individuals who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice recognition software, magnification tools, alternative input devices, and other accessibility tools.
To the best of our reasonable abilities, Webstarz works to design and maintain websites with accessibility in mind. This may include attention to readable text, proper heading structure, color contrast, image alternative text, link clarity, form labeling, keyboard navigation, page organization, and responsive layouts.
2. Accessibility Standards
Webstarz uses commonly recognized accessibility standards and best practices as general guidance, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, where reasonably applicable. These standards are intended to improve accessibility for users with visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and other disabilities.
Webstarz does not guarantee that every website will satisfy every accessibility law, regulation, interpretation, technical requirement, or guideline in every jurisdiction. Accessibility standards and legal interpretations can change over time.
3. Accessibility Testing
As part of the website development and review process, Webstarz may use automated accessibility checkers, browser tools, manual reviews, and reasonable testing methods to identify potential accessibility issues.
Accessibility checks may include review of items such as text contrast, heading structure, missing alternative text, link labels, button labels, form labels, mobile responsiveness, keyboard navigation, page readability, and general usability.
Automated tools are helpful but cannot detect every accessibility barrier. Manual review and user feedback are also important parts of maintaining accessible websites.
4. Accessibility Statements on Client Websites
Where applicable, Webstarz may include an Accessibility Statement on client websites to provide users with information about accessibility efforts and a way to report accessibility barriers.
Client websites should provide clear contact information so users can request assistance, report issues, or ask for content in an alternative format when reasonably possible.
5. Ongoing Accessibility
Accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time guarantee. Websites may change over time due to client edits, new content, images, videos, documents, third-party widgets, IDX feeds, MLS data, plugin updates, browser updates, platform changes, or changes in assistive technology.
Webstarz makes reasonable efforts to address accessibility concerns brought to our attention, but no website can be guaranteed to be fully accessible at all times or free from every possible accessibility barrier.
6. Third-Party Content and Integrations
Some websites may include third-party content or integrations, including IDX tools, MLS feeds, maps, embedded videos, social media feeds, review widgets, scheduling tools, CRM forms, payment tools, analytics scripts, plugins, and other external services.
Webstarz does not control all third-party platforms, code, data, or content. Accessibility issues caused by third-party tools, third-party content, IDX systems, MLS feeds, plugins, browser changes, or external vendors may be outside Webstarz’s control.
7. Client-Added Content
After launch, clients may add, modify, replace, or request changes to website content. Client-added content may include text, images, videos, documents, PDFs, listings, testimonials, links, forms, widgets, or other materials.
Clients are responsible for ensuring that content added, supplied, uploaded, or modified after launch remains accessible and compliant with applicable accessibility requirements.
8. PDFs, Documents, and Media
PDFs, downloadable documents, videos, audio files, embedded media, and third-party files may present additional accessibility challenges. Where possible, website owners should provide accessible versions, captions, transcripts, alternative text, readable formatting, or alternative methods of accessing the same information.
Webstarz does not guarantee the accessibility of client-provided PDFs, documents, media files, or third-party files unless specifically reviewed and remediated under a separate written agreement.
9. Real Estate, IDX, and MLS Content
Real estate websites may display property listings, IDX feeds, MLS data, property photos, maps, listing descriptions, and third-party listing tools. Some of this content is controlled by MLS systems, IDX vendors, brokerages, third-party platforms, or listing data providers.
Webstarz may not control the accessibility, structure, labels, images, scripts, or user interface of all IDX or MLS-related content. Clients are responsible for working with their brokerage, MLS, and IDX provider regarding accessibility requirements for listing data and related tools.
10. Known Limitations
Despite good-faith efforts, some accessibility limitations may exist. Limitations may arise from third-party integrations, platform restrictions, browser behavior, client content, IDX data, embedded media, documents, plugin code, legacy content, or technical limitations outside Webstarz’s reasonable control.
Webstarz welcomes accessibility feedback and encourages users to report barriers so reasonable efforts can be made to address them.
11. Requesting Assistance
If you experience difficulty accessing a Webstarz website or a website created by Webstarz, you may contact the website owner using the contact information listed on that website. Please include the page URL, a description of the issue, the device and browser used, and the assistive technology involved, if applicable.
If the issue relates directly to Webstarz’s own website or services, you may contact Webstarz using the contact information below.
12. Response to Accessibility Issues
When an accessibility concern is reported, Webstarz may review the issue, attempt to reproduce the issue, evaluate whether the issue is within Webstarz’s control, and make reasonable efforts to address the issue where practical.
Resolution times may vary depending on the nature of the issue, third-party involvement, client approval, platform limitations, technical complexity, and available information.
13. No Guarantee of Perfect Compliance
Webstarz makes reasonable, good-faith efforts to support accessibility, but does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that any website will be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, WCAG, Section 508, state accessibility laws, local accessibility laws, or every interpretation of accessibility law at all times.
Accessibility compliance may require ongoing monitoring, legal review, technical remediation, third-party vendor cooperation, content updates, and client participation.
14. Shared Responsibility
Accessibility is a shared responsibility between Webstarz, the client, third-party platforms, content providers, hosting providers, IDX providers, MLS systems, and other vendors involved in operating the website.
Clients are responsible for maintaining accessible content, reviewing website updates, responding to user requests, and obtaining legal guidance regarding accessibility obligations specific to their business, industry, jurisdiction, and website use.
