  1. Our Commitment

We are committed to making [Platform / Business Name] accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including people with disabilities.

We aim to improve accessibility on an ongoing basis and use recognised accessibility standards as guidance, including:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 Level AA;
  • selected guidance from WCAG 2.2, where feasible;
  • applicable accessibility expectations in the countries where our services are accessed.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we continue to review and improve the Platform over time.

  1. Scope of This Statement

This Accessibility Statement applies to:

Website: https://wprld-business-zone.com
Platform: World Business Zone

It covers the main website and core user journeys, including where applicable:

  • navigation;
  • search and browsing;
  • account registration and login;
  • account management;
  • listing creation and management;
  • promoted listing and advertising management;
  • checkout or payment-related user journeys, where available;
  • contact and support forms.

This statement does not fully cover:

  • third-party websites or services;
  • third-party integrations;
  • embedded content controlled by third parties;
  • payment provider interfaces controlled by third parties;
  • user-generated content, such as listings, advertisements, uploads, images, documents, descriptions or comments;
  • archived content or legacy documents where updating them would impose a disproportionate burden.
  1. Conformance Status

Based on our current assessment, the Platform is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

“Partially compliant” means that some parts of the Platform may not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We are working to identify, prioritise and resolve accessibility issues over time.

  1. Known Accessibility Limitations

We are aware that some parts of the Platform may not be fully accessible at all times. Known or potential limitations may include:

  • some images, uploads, advertisements or media content may lack sufficient alternative text;
  • certain interactive elements may have limited keyboard accessibility;
  • some components may not fully support screen readers;
  • colour contrast issues may occur in specific areas or legacy content;
  • dynamic or JavaScript-driven content may not always behave consistently with assistive technologies;
  • some forms, filters, checkout steps or input fields may not be fully accessible in all scenarios;
  • uploaded or user-generated content may not meet accessibility standards;
  • third-party integrations, embedded content, payment interfaces or external services may not be fully accessible;
  • archived documents or files, such as PDFs, may not be fully accessible.

We are actively working to identify and resolve accessibility issues where reasonably practicable.

Although we are committed to accessibility, we cannot guarantee that all content, including third-party or user-generated content, will be accessible at all times.

  1. Accessibility Features

The Platform aims to support accessibility through features such as:

  • keyboard navigation support;
  • logical heading structure;
  • semantic HTML where possible;
  • ARIA landmarks or labels where appropriate;
  • responsive design for desktop and mobile devices;
  • readable text and scalable layouts;
  • visible focus indicators where possible;
  • compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies.
  1. Testing and Evaluation

We assess accessibility through a combination of:

  • automated testing tools, such as axe, Lighthouse or similar tools;
  • manual testing;
  • keyboard-only navigation checks;
  • screen reader checks where possible;
  • periodic internal reviews;
  • user feedback.

Where possible, we align testing with WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements.

  1. Third-Party and User-Generated Content

Some content available through the Platform may be provided by users or third parties.

This may include:

  • business listings;
  • promoted listings;
  • graphical advertisements;
  • uploaded images or documents;
  • listing descriptions;
  • external links;
  • embedded maps;
  • payment provider interfaces;
  • third-party tools or widgets.

We do not control all third-party or user-generated content and cannot guarantee that it will meet accessibility standards.

However, we aim to improve platform-level accessibility and may provide guidance, moderation tools or technical improvements where reasonably possible.

  1. Disproportionate Burden

In some cases, making specific content or functionality fully accessible may impose a disproportionate burden, particularly where the content is legacy, user-generated, third-party controlled, technically complex or no longer actively maintained.

Such cases are assessed individually. Where full accessibility is not reasonably practicable, we will try to provide an accessible alternative where possible.
