Accessibility
We want everyone to be able to search for a home on Dibz, including people with disabilities. We're a small team in Ontario, and we follow the spirit of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA): find barriers, remove them, and listen when someone tells us about one.
What we do
- Keyboard: pages, menus, dialogs and filters can be used with a keyboard, focus stays inside an open dialog, and Escape closes it.
- Contrast and themes: we check text and controls for contrast in both the light and dark themes, and the site follows your device's light or dark setting.
- Motion: animations are turned off when your device asks for reduced motion.
- Structure: pages use real headings, labelled buttons and form fields, and text descriptions for images. Charts on the blog come with their numbers as a table.
- Zoom: text can be enlarged in your browser without losing content.
- The map: each home on the map is also in the list beside it, so you don't need to use the map itself to browse.
What we're still working on
Dibz is new and changes often. Some parts may still fall short, such as map controls drawn by our map provider, listing photos (which come from listing brokerages without descriptions) and newer screens. We work toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, and we fix what we find.
Tell us about a barrier
If something on Dibz is hard to use, or you need information in another format, email info@plancier.com with "Accessibility" in the subject. Tell us the page or screen and what happened. We'll reply within two business days and work with you on a fix or another way to get what you need.
