Accessibility goals

What is the accessibility goal of the website?

PLOCAL aims to make its public pages, navigation, forms, Profiles, and directory information usable by people with different abilities, devices, browsers, and assistive technologies.

Is accessibility work ongoing?

Yes. The website continues to evolve. When a barrier is identified, PLOCAL aims to review it and improve the experience where reasonably possible.

Images, icons & badges

How are images, icons, and badges handled?

Meaningful images should include descriptive alternative text, while decorative visuals are treated as decorative. Icons are paired with text or accessible labels when they communicate an action or status.

Navigation & forms

How are forms designed for accessibility?

Public forms use associated labels, clear instructions, keyboard-accessible controls, visible focus states, and factual validation messages where supported.

Can I navigate the website with a keyboard?

PLOCAL aims to keep core navigation and public actions available through standard keyboard navigation. Browser and assistive-technology settings may affect individual experiences.

Third-party content

Are all accessibility issues controlled by PLOCAL?

Not always. Some issues may come from third-party plugins, embedded tools, external websites, browser settings, device limitations, or content supplied by businesses. Those experiences are controlled by their respective providers.

Report an accessibility issue

What should I do if I find an accessibility barrier?

Contact PLOCAL with the page URL, a description of the difficulty, and the device or assistive technology you were using if you are comfortable sharing it. This helps us understand and review the issue.

How can I contact support?

Use the Contact PLOCAL page or email info@plocal.com.
