Our Accessibility Efforts

Urban Kanaka is continually working to improve the usability and accessibility of this website. Therefore, our ongoing efforts may include:

• Providing alternative text for meaningful images
• Using clear headings and logical page structures
• Maintaining readable text sizes and color contrast
• Supporting keyboard navigation where reasonably possible
• Using descriptive links and button labels
• Avoiding unnecessary flashing or rapidly moving content
• Adding captions, transcripts, or text alternatives to multimedia when available
• Reviewing pages for accessibility as content and website features are added or updated

Accessibility Standard

Our goal is to work toward substantial alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. Specifically, WCAG is an internationally recognized standard designed around four principles: digital content should be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Learn more about WCAG 2.2.

However, because accessibility involves both automated testing and human evaluation, we do not claim that every page or feature currently conforms fully to every WCAG success criterion. Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility, and we will continue improving the website as our content, technology, and resources develop.

Third-Party Content and Services

UrbanKanaka.com may link to or incorporate content, products, forms, videos, checkout systems, or services operated by third parties. For example, these may include Etsy, Fullscript, Printify, payment processors, affiliate partners, social media platforms, and other external providers.

Although we encourage accessibility throughout the visitor experience, Urban Kanaka does not control the design or accessibility practices of third-party websites and services. Therefore, if you experience difficulty with an external platform, you may also wish to contact that provider directly.

For this reason, we recommend using current versions of commonly supported browsers and assistive technologies. IN addition, browser features such as text enlargement, zoom, contrast adjustment, voice control, and screen-reader support may also improve access.
