We at The College Athlete Network are firmly committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online platform that empowers college athletes, coaches, and recruiters to connect, collaborate, and thrive. Accessibility is a core value, and we are dedicated to meeting the needs of individuals with diverse abilities, ensuring equal access to our services and resources in compliance with applicable accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2.
We recognize the importance of creating a seamless and equitable user experience for everyone, regardless of visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments. To achieve this, we have implemented a comprehensive accessibility strategy that includes regular audits of our website to identify and address barriers to access. Our development team prioritizes accessible design principles, such as providing text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring keyboard navigability, and maintaining sufficient color contrast to enhance readability. We also incorporate assistive technologies, such as screen readers, into our testing processes to ensure compatibility and usability.
Our commitment extends beyond technical compliance. We actively seek feedback from users to continually improve the accessibility of our platform. By fostering an inclusive environment, we aim to support the diverse needs of our community, enabling all users to engage fully with our networking tools and resources. We provide training for our staff to stay informed about accessibility best practices and emerging technologies.
We are dedicated to ongoing improvement and welcome input from our users to enhance accessibility. If you encounter any accessibility challenges or have suggestions, please contact us at admin@collegeathletenetwork.org. Together, we can build a more inclusive digital space for college athletes and their supporters.
