Our Commitment
Uncle Purl is committed to providing a website experience that is inclusive and accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability. We actively work to improve the accessibility and usability of our website, www.unclepurl.com (the “Website”), so that our services and content are available to all users, including individuals who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, and alternative input devices.
To support this commitment, Uncle Purl uses UserWay, an accessibility solution that helps identify and remediate potential accessibility barriers and provides an assistive technology interface for users. These efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Levels A and AA, and are intended to support compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable accessibility regulations.
Ongoing Efforts & Good-Faith Compliance
Accessibility is an ongoing process. Our Website is regularly evaluated using automated accessibility testing tools and monitoring technology, and improvements are made on a continual basis. Because website content, features, and technologies evolve, some accessibility issues may arise despite our good-faith efforts to maintain compliance.
We are committed to addressing accessibility concerns in a timely manner and view accessibility as a shared responsibility that evolves alongside technology and industry standards.
Accessibility features and assistive tools may be activated through the accessibility widget available on our Website.

- A screen reader is text-to-speech software that enables those who are blind or low vision to access information on a computer or mobile device. The technology reads the screen aloud. Free screen readers are available such as NVDA for Windows and VoiceOver for Mac. Jaws for Windows is also widely used.
