Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Nettie, we believe everyone should be able to discover and enjoy women’s sport. We are committed to ensuring our websites (nettie.online, nettienic.blog) and platform are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessibility isn’t just about compliance — it’s about inclusion. Just as we work to make women’s sport visible, we work to make our platform usable for all.
