Website Accessibility Policy
Effective Date: 10-11-2026
Last Updated: 10-11-2026
1. Policy Statement and Commitment
Properties in Georgia (hereinafter referred to as the “Platform”, “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to promoting digital accessibility and ensuring that its website, online content and available functionalities are reasonably accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities.
We recognise that accessibility is an essential component of equal access to information and digital services. Accordingly, we endeavour to design, develop, maintain and improve the Platform in a manner that minimises digital barriers and facilitates independent, effective and dignified access.
This Policy establishes the accessibility principles, standards, procedures and commitments applicable to the Platform. It also provides a mechanism through which users may report accessibility barriers and request appropriate assistance.
2. Scope and Application
This Policy applies to the website located at https://propertiesingeorgia.com and, to the extent reasonably within our control, its associated digital content, interfaces and functionalities, including:
Property search, browsing and listing pages;
Property descriptions, images and related information;
User registration, authentication and account-management facilities;
Property submission, editing and management forms;
Navigation menus, interactive elements and website controls;
Contact forms, enquiry facilities and communication features; and
Other digital services and content made available through the Platform.
This Policy applies to accessibility matters arising from the design, development, operation and maintenance of the Platform, subject to the limitations and third-party dependencies expressly identified herein.
3. Applicable Legal Framework and Accessibility Standards
The Company endeavours to conduct its accessibility practices in accordance with applicable legislation of Georgia (the country), including the Law of Georgia on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as amended, and any applicable subordinate legislation, regulatory requirements and technical standards.
The Platform also seeks to align its digital accessibility practices with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Our accessibility approach is guided by the following internationally recognised principles:
3.1 Perceivability
Information and user-interface components should be presented in ways that users can perceive, including through appropriate text alternatives and accessible visual presentation.
3.2 Operability
Website functionality should be capable of operation through different input methods, including keyboard navigation, without unnecessary dependence on a mouse or other pointing device.
3.3 Understandability
Website content, navigation and interactive functionality should be presented in a clear, consistent and reasonably predictable manner.
3.4 Robustness
Website content and functionality should, to the extent reasonably practicable, support compatibility with commonly used browsers, devices and assistive technologies.
Where applicable Georgian law establishes mandatory accessibility requirements, those statutory requirements shall prevail over any general standard or voluntary accessibility objective described in this Policy.
4. Accessibility Measures and Technical Commitments
The Company endeavours to implement and maintain appropriate accessibility measures across the Platform, including the following:
4.1 Keyboard Navigation
We aim to ensure that essential interactive functionality, including navigation links, buttons, menus and forms, can be accessed and operated through keyboard input without requiring mouse-based interaction.
4.2 Focus Indicators and Navigation Management
We seek to provide a logical navigation sequence, visible keyboard-focus indicators and appropriate focus management for interactive components.
Where applicable, modal windows, menus and similar interface elements should maintain appropriate keyboard focus and return focus to the relevant initiating control when closed.
4.3 Accessible Forms and Error Identification
We endeavour to provide forms with identifiable labels, understandable instructions and meaningful error notifications.
Where technically supported, validation errors should be associated with the relevant input fields and presented in a manner that enables users, including those relying on assistive technologies, to identify and correct submission errors.
4.4 Visual Accessibility and Readability
We seek to maintain legible typography, appropriate colour contrast, consistent visual presentation and layouts that accommodate different screen sizes and display preferences.
4.5 Motion and Animation Preferences
Where technically supported, the Platform endeavours to respect applicable reduced-motion preferences and minimise unnecessary animations or visual effects that may adversely affect accessibility.
4.6 Language and Content Presentation
The Platform provides language options, including Georgian and English. We endeavour to ensure that translated and original content is presented in a clear and usable format, with appropriate consideration for language-specific text presentation and character rendering.
4.7 Responsive and Mobile Accessibility
We aim to maintain responsive website functionality across desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices, with particular consideration for readable content, accessible controls and usability across different screen sizes.
5. Accessibility of User-Submitted Content
The Platform permits property owners, real estate agents, agencies, developers and other authorised users to submit property listings, descriptions, photographs, documents and related materials.
Such materials may originate from independent third parties and may not be created, maintained or directly controlled by the Company.
Users submitting content are encouraged to ensure that their materials are accurate, understandable and accessible wherever reasonably practicable. This includes providing meaningful descriptions, avoiding unnecessarily complex formatting and considering the accessibility of uploaded documents and other media.
The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law and its contractual rights, to request amendments, restrict access to or remove submitted content where material accessibility concerns arise.
Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as excluding or transferring any statutory accessibility obligation that legally rests with the Company or the Platform.
6. Accessibility Monitoring and Continuous Improvement
The Company recognises that digital accessibility requires ongoing assessment and improvement. We therefore endeavour to review relevant aspects of the Platform periodically and take reasonable steps to identify, evaluate and address accessibility barriers.
Such measures may include:
Reviewing website navigation and interactive functionality;
Assessing keyboard accessibility and focus management;
Evaluating text readability and visual contrast;
Reviewing the accessibility of forms and user-input mechanisms;
Assessing compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies;
Investigating accessibility complaints and reported defects; and
Implementing appropriate technical, structural or design improvements.
Accessibility assessments may involve automated testing, manual inspection, specialist evaluation or other appropriate review procedures, depending on the nature and complexity of the relevant website functionality.
7. Accessibility Reporting and User Feedback
Users are encouraged to notify the Company of any accessibility barrier, technical limitation or difficulty encountered while accessing or using the Platform.
Reports should be submitted through the contact details provided in Section 12 of this Policy.
To facilitate an effective investigation, users should, where reasonably practicable, provide:
The relevant webpage address or URL;
A description of the accessibility issue encountered;
The particular feature or functionality affected;
The device, operating system and browser being used;
Details of any assistive technology involved, where applicable; and
The nature of any reasonable accommodation or alternative assistance requested.
Users shall not be required to disclose medical diagnoses or provide unnecessary sensitive personal information solely for the purpose of reporting an accessibility issue.
8. Investigation and Remedial Action
The Company shall make reasonable efforts to acknowledge, assess and address accessibility reports within a reasonable period, taking into account the nature, severity and practical implications of the reported issue.
Depending on the circumstances, appropriate remedial measures may include:
Correcting an identified technical or design defect;
Providing an alternative method of accessing relevant information;
Offering reasonable assistance in completing an affected process;
Referring the matter to the relevant technical or service provider; or
Implementing an alternative accessibility measure where an immediate permanent correction is not reasonably practicable.
Reported issues may be prioritised according to their impact on users, the importance of the affected functionality, the availability of alternative access methods and applicable legal obligations.
Nothing in this section limits any statutory complaint procedure, enforcement mechanism or legal remedy available under applicable law.
9. Third-Party Websites and Integrated Services
The Platform may contain external links to, or integrate functionalities provided by, third-party websites, applications, mapping services, payment processors, communication providers and other independent service providers.
Such third-party services may operate under their own accessibility policies, technical standards and operational procedures and may not be subject to the Company's direct control.
The Company does not warrant or guarantee the accessibility of independently operated third-party websites or services. However, where third-party functionality is incorporated into the Platform and falls within our reasonable control, we endeavour to consider its accessibility implications and take appropriate steps to address material barriers.
Users experiencing accessibility difficulties with an independently operated third-party service may also be required to contact the relevant provider directly.
10. Reasonable Accommodation and Alternative Assistance
Where an accessibility barrier prevents or materially restricts a user from accessing information or functionality available through the Platform, the Company will consider reasonable and proportionate measures to facilitate access, subject to applicable law and the nature of the request.
Depending on the circumstances, such measures may include providing information in an alternative reasonably available format, explaining a particular website process or offering assistance with access to relevant functionality.
All requests for accommodation shall be considered in good faith and assessed in accordance with applicable legal requirements, technical feasibility and the circumstances of the individual request.
11. Limitations and Compliance Qualifications
Although the Company is committed to improving digital accessibility, certain website features, third-party integrations, user-submitted materials or technical components may not be fully accessible at all times.
Technical limitations, newly identified defects, changes in website functionality and dependencies on external service providers may affect the accessibility of particular features.
Accordingly, the reference to WCAG 2.2 Level AA represents the Company's stated accessibility objective and development standard. It shall not, in the absence of an appropriate independent assessment, constitute a representation of certification or a guarantee that every webpage, feature or third-party component fully satisfies every applicable accessibility criterion.
Nothing in this Policy shall exclude, restrict or derogate from any mandatory statutory obligation, legal responsibility or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
12. Accessibility Contact and Communication
For accessibility-related enquiries, complaints, assistance requests or reports concerning barriers encountered on the Platform, users may contact the Company through the following channels:
Company: Properties in Georgia
Website: https://propertiesingeorgia.com
Accessibility Email: ____________________________
Contact Page: https://propertiesingeorgia.com/en/contact
The Company encourages users to communicate accessibility concerns clearly and provide sufficient information to enable an appropriate assessment and response.
13. Policy Review and Amendments
The Company reserves the right to review, revise and update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable legislation, regulatory guidance, recognised accessibility standards, website functionality or operational practices.
Any revised version shall be published on this webpage with an updated revision date. Users are encouraged to review this Policy periodically to remain informed of the Company's current accessibility practices and commitments.
No amendment to this Policy shall operate to waive or diminish any mandatory legal obligation imposed upon the Company under applicable law.
14. Governing Law and Statutory Rights

In particular, this Policy shall be read consistently with the Law of Georgia on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as amended, and any applicable implementing legislation and regulatory requirements.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting, excluding or waiving any rights, protections or remedies afforded to persons with disabilities under applicable Georgian law.
