Accessibility Statement
Last updated: May 26, 2026
Need help right now?
If you are having difficulty using MusicYaa because of a disability, email support@musicyaa.com and a member of our team will help you complete your booking or task by phone or email. We respond within 2 business days.
1. Our Commitment
MusicYaa, operated by Castaneda Networks LLC, is committed to making our website (musicyaa.com), iOS app, and Android app usable by people of all abilities. Accessibility is part of how we build products, not a feature we add on at the end.
We believe that everyone, regardless of disability, should be able to discover Latin music artists and event vendors, request bookings, communicate with providers, and manage their account on MusicYaa with the same ease as anyone else.
2. Standards We Follow
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard referenced by U.S. Department of Justice guidance on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and is the standard adopted by most state and federal accessibility laws.
For our mobile apps, we follow the platform-native accessibility guidelines:
- iOS: Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for Accessibility, including support for VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion.
- Android: Material Design accessibility guidelines and the Android Accessibility API, including support for TalkBack, font scaling, and high-contrast text.
3. Scope of This Statement
This statement applies to:
- The public marketing website at musicyaa.com and its Spanish-language pages at musicyaa.com/es
- The MusicYaa web application at musicyaa.com/browse and related authenticated routes
- The MusicYaa iOS app (available on the App Store)
- The MusicYaa Android app (available on Google Play)
Content provided by independent artists and vendors on the Platform (profile photos, videos, audio samples, written descriptions) is the responsibility of those individual providers. We require providers to use descriptive titles and we offer tools to add alternative text, but we cannot guarantee the accessibility of every piece of user-generated content.
4. Measures We Take
We work to make MusicYaa accessible through ongoing practices, including:
- Semantic HTML and ARIA attributes where needed so screen readers can navigate the site
- Keyboard navigation for all interactive controls, with visible focus indicators
- Color contrast targeting WCAG AA ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)
- Resizable text that remains usable up to 200% zoom in modern browsers
- Form labels and error messages that are programmatically associated with their fields
- Alternative text on informational images; decorative images are marked so screen readers skip them
- Captions and transcripts for marketing videos under our control; we are working with providers to encourage captions on artist sample videos
- Reduced-motion support: our animated footer and scroll-driven effects respect the
prefers-reduced-motion system setting - Mobile-first responsive design so the site is usable across screen sizes and orientations
- Regular review by our engineering team during feature development
5. Known Limitations
We are honest about where we fall short. We are actively working on the following:
- User-generated content: some artist and vendor profile videos and audio samples do not yet have captions or transcripts. We are building in-app captioning tooling and adding caption prompts to the provider upload flow.
- Decorative animations: portions of the marketing site use scroll-driven and parallax animations that may be distracting for some users. These animations respect the
prefers-reduced-motion setting; if you experience an issue not covered by that setting, please tell us. - Third-party content: embedded maps, payment forms (Stripe), and analytics use third-party components whose accessibility is outside our direct control. We choose vendors who publish accessibility conformance reports and we provide alternative ways to complete a booking (see Section 7).
- Legacy pages: a small number of older blog posts may not yet meet our current accessibility standards. We are reviewing and remediating these.

Our response commitment
We acknowledge accessibility reports within 2 business days. For barriers that prevent you from completing a task, we will offer a workaround (typically completing the task on your behalf by phone or email) while we work on a fix. We target a fix or substantive update within 30 days of acknowledgment.
7. Alternative Ways to Use MusicYaa
If any part of the website or app is not working for you, we will help you complete the same task through another channel at no cost:
- Phone-assisted booking: email support@musicyaa.com with your phone number and a member of our team will call you to walk through your booking, share artist information, and process payment on your behalf.
- Email-assisted booking: describe the event you are planning (date, location, music style, budget) and we will reply with suitable artists and vendors and arrange the booking by email.
- Read-aloud documents: our Terms, Privacy Policy, and Provider Agreement are available as plain-text email attachments on request, formatted for screen readers.
8. Assessment Approach
MusicYaa's current accessibility status is based on a combination of:
- Self-evaluation by our engineering team using automated tools (axe DevTools, Lighthouse, and WAVE) integrated into our development workflow
- Manual review with assistive technology (VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, NVDA on Windows, TalkBack on Android) during feature development
- User feedback from accessibility reports submitted by people who use MusicYaa
We have not yet commissioned a formal third-party accessibility audit. We expect to complete one within the next 12 months and will publish the results here.
