Accessibility Statement
Last updated: June 10, 2026
Our commitment
Octiv.live is committed to making live music booking usable by as many people as possible, including people who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, and browser zoom. We treat accessibility as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time task, and we are still early in that work.
The standard we aim for
We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as our guiding target. To be candid: Octiv.live is an early-stage product and has not yet completed a formal, independent accessibility audit. We therefore consider ourselves partially conformant, much of the site follows these guidelines, but some areas do not yet fully meet them. We would rather tell you that plainly than claim a level of conformance we have not verified.
What we do today
- Build pages with semantic HTML and a logical heading structure.
- Use native, keyboard-operable controls for links, buttons, and forms, so the site can be navigated without a mouse.
- Label form fields and tie labels to their inputs.
- Provide text alternatives for meaningful images and mark purely decorative media, such as the background video on our home page, so assistive technologies skip it.
- Respect your device's “reduce motion” setting: if you have asked your system to minimize motion, our home page shows a still image instead of the autoplaying background video.
- Use responsive layouts and support browser zoom and text resizing.
- Aim for readable color contrast throughout the interface.
Known limitations
We want to be honest about where we fall short so you know what to expect:
- We have not yet completed a comprehensive, third-party accessibility audit.
- Some color combinations, error messages, focus indicators, or interactive components may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
- Parts of the experience rely on third-party services (for example mapping and, in the future, payments) whose content we do not fully control.
These are known to us and on our list to improve as the product matures.
Tell us about a barrier
If something on Octiv.live is hard or impossible to use, or you need information in a different format, please tell us, your report directly shapes what we fix next. Email hello@octiv.live and, if you can, include the page, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology you were using. We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports as quickly as we can and to prioritize fixes that restore access.
This statement will change
This reflects our good-faith effort as of the date above and is a living document. As we test more, hear from users, and improve the product, we will update both the site and this statement.
