Accessibility Statement

Chew Network is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

Our Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly audit our platform, address issues as they are identified, and incorporate accessibility into our design and development processes from the start.

Accessibility Features

⌨️

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements are fully accessible via keyboard. Use Tab to navigate, Enter/Space to activate, and Escape to dismiss.

🔊

Screen Reader Support

We use semantic HTML and ARIA attributes throughout our platform to ensure compatibility with screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.

🎨

Color Contrast

Text and interactive elements meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios. We do not rely on color alone to convey information.

📱

Responsive Design

Chew Network is fully responsive and works across all screen sizes, from mobile phones to large desktop monitors.

🔤

Text Resizing

Our platform supports browser text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

🎬

Media Alternatives

Images include descriptive alt text. Video content includes captions where available. We are working to expand caption coverage.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our platform are still being improved:

  • Some older recipe videos may not have captions — we are working to add them.
  • The interactive map on the Restaurants page has limited screen reader support — a text-based list view is available.
  • Some third-party embedded content may not meet our accessibility standards.
