Accessibility

Accessibility at HostFinder.ca

I want HostFinder.ca to be usable with a keyboard, screen reader, browser zoom and other assistive technology. Accessibility is part of how I build and maintain the site, not a separate feature added afterward.

What I focus on

Keyboard and focus

Navigation, menus, forms and interactive controls should be reachable without a mouse, with visible focus states and a logical tab order.

Semantic structure

Pages use landmarks, headings, labels and native controls so assistive technology can understand the structure without relying on visual layout alone.

Contrast and readability

I use a restrained palette, readable type sizes and clear states instead of relying on colour alone to communicate important information.

Images and icons

Meaningful images receive alternative text. Decorative or redundant images can use empty alternative text when nearby text already provides the same information.

Responsive layouts and zoom

Layouts are designed to reflow across phones, tablets and desktops without hiding essential content or requiring horizontal page scrolling.

Motion preferences

Shared styles respect reduced-motion preferences so transitions and animations do not become a barrier for visitors who disable motion.

Standards and ongoing work

I aim to follow current WCAG accessibility practices, with particular attention to Level AA techniques. I do not claim that every older page or third-party destination is perfectly conformant at all times. HostFinder is actively being consolidated onto shared components and Tailwind-based patterns so accessibility fixes can be applied consistently across the site.

HostFinder.ca is built and operated in Ontario. I also keep Ontario accessibility guidance in mind when reviewing the public site, while treating WCAG as the practical technical reference for the interface itself.

Known limitations

Some older editorial pages were built before the current shared design system and may still have small inconsistencies in spacing, focus treatment or component markup. I am updating those pages as they are reviewed. External hosting-provider and affiliate websites are outside HostFinder's control.

Report an accessibility problem

If something is difficult to navigate, understand or operate, please tell me what page you were on, what you were trying to do and, if useful, which browser or assistive technology you were using. I will use that information to investigate the issue and improve the page.
