Using this Website
At Wheree, our mission is to connect people with great local businesses, and we are dedicated to ensuring our platform is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. To achieve this goal, we strive to meet or exceed the standards outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to provide equal access to Whereers who may be blind, visually impaired, or have other disabilities.
In our continuous effort to enhance accessibility, we have undertaken comprehensive updates to align our site and content with WCAG 2.1 guidelines. However, ensuring accessibility is an ongoing commitment that requires consistent monitoring of our platforms. As our products and services evolve with the introduction of new features, our internal teams collaborate with an external consulting company to conduct accessibility audits, combining automated and manual testing to work toward ongoing compliance with WCAG 2.1 A/AA.
While exploring our platforms, you may encounter third-party sites and tools like Google Maps. Although these external entities may pose accessibility challenges, Wheree does not control how content is presented on these sites, limiting our ability to make alterations.
