ATL Finder — Accessibility Statement and Policy

Effective Date: November 7, 2026 Last Updated: November 7, 2026 Website: https://atlfinder.com

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

At ATL Finder, we believe everyone deserves equal access to information, opportunities, and local businesses.

Our mission is to connect residents, visitors, and businesses throughout Metro Atlanta by providing a convenient, inclusive, and accessible online business directory.

ATL Finder is committed to improving the accessibility and usability of ATLFinder.com for all individuals, including people with disabilities.

We strive to provide a digital experience that allows users of different abilities to search for businesses, explore services, access information, and interact with our platform as independently as possible.

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment that informs how we design, develop, maintain, and improve our website.

2. Accessibility Standards

ATL Finder aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

These internationally recognized guidelines provide recommendations for making web content more accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, neurological, and other disabilities.

Our accessibility efforts are guided by four core principles:

Perceivable: Information and interface components should be presented in ways users can perceive.

Operable: Navigation and interface controls should be usable through different input methods, including keyboards and assistive technologies.

Understandable: Information and website functionality should be clear, predictable, and easy to understand.

Robust: Content should be compatible with a range of browsers, devices, and assistive technologies.

ATL Finder's goal is to incorporate these principles into both new features and improvements to existing functionality.

This statement describes our accessibility objectives and does not represent a certification that every page or feature currently conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

3. Accessibility Features and Design Practices

ATL Finder strives to incorporate accessible design and development practices throughout the website.

These include the following areas.

A. Keyboard Accessibility

We aim to make essential website functionality accessible through keyboard navigation without requiring a mouse.

This includes navigation menus, search fields, buttons, forms, and other interactive controls.

B. Screen Reader Compatibility

We strive to use meaningful headings, descriptive labels, appropriate semantic markup, and accessible interface components to support users of screen readers and other assistive technologies.

C. Readable Content

We aim to present information using clear language, organized headings, readable typography, and consistent navigation.

D. Color and Contrast

We strive to maintain sufficient contrast between text and background colors and avoid relying exclusively on color to communicate important information.

E. Text Resizing and Responsive Layouts

We aim to support browser text enlargement and responsive layouts so visitors can access information across desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices.

F. Alternative Text for Images

We strive to provide meaningful text alternatives for informative images, icons, and graphics.

Decorative images may be configured so they do not create unnecessary interruptions for assistive technology users.

G. Accessible Forms

We aim to make business registration, contact, advertising inquiry, and other forms accessible through:

- Clearly identified form fields - Descriptive labels - Understandable instructions - Accessible error messages - Keyboard navigation - Appropriate focus management

H. Search and Directory Navigation

We strive to ensure that visitors can search for businesses by name, category, service, city, county, and ZIP code using accessible controls.

I. Multimedia Accessibility

Where applicable, we aim to provide captions, transcripts, or other appropriate alternatives for audio and video content under our control.

J. Motion and Animation

We aim to avoid unnecessary flashing or motion effects that could create accessibility barriers and to respect reduced-motion preferences where technically supported.

4. Accessibility of Business Listings and Advertisements

ATL Finder allows businesses and advertisers to submit information, images, logos, descriptions, and other content for publication.

While we strive to make directory listings and advertising placements accessible, some content may originate from independent third parties.

ATL Finder may establish content requirements and make reasonable formatting adjustments to improve accessibility.

Business owners and advertisers are encouraged to provide:

- Clear, readable descriptions - Meaningful image descriptions when appropriate - Accessible promotional materials - Videos with captions where applicable - Accurate business contact information

We may request corrections to submitted materials that create significant accessibility barriers.

5. Third-Party Content and External Websites

ATL Finder may contain links to independent business websites, social media platforms, mapping services, payment providers, and other third-party services.

We do not control the accessibility of websites or applications operated by independent third parties.

Although we encourage accessible digital practices, ATL Finder cannot guarantee that external websites meet particular accessibility standards.

If you encounter an accessibility issue involving a third-party service integrated directly into ATL Finder, please notify us so we can review available options.

6. Ongoing Accessibility Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process.

ATL Finder intends to evaluate and improve website accessibility as the platform develops.

Our efforts may include:

1. Reviewing website navigation and interactive components. 2. Testing forms and search functionality. 3. Evaluating color contrast and readability. 4. Reviewing compatibility with assistive technologies. 5. Correcting identified accessibility barriers. 6. Considering accessibility when introducing new features. 7. Reviewing feedback from website visitors. 8. Updating accessibility practices as technology and recognized standards evolve.

Where practical, we aim to prioritize barriers that prevent users from completing essential tasks, such as searching for businesses, viewing contact information, or submitting a business listing.

7. Known Limitations

Despite our accessibility goals, some portions of the website may not yet fully meet all accessibility guidelines.

Potential challenges may involve:

- Third-party integrations - User-submitted images and media - Embedded maps - Advertising content - Newly introduced features - Legacy or externally supplied materials

We welcome reports of accessibility barriers and will review identified issues to determine appropriate corrective measures.
