Accessibility Statement

♿ Our Commitment to Inclusion

"If It Ain't Dutch, It Ain't Much" is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, regardless of ability or disability. We believe that everyone should be able to explore Dutch mysteries, access exclusive merchandise, and participate in Amsterdam's underground culture.

We continuously work to improve the accessibility and usability of our portal for everyone.

🎧 Inclusive Audio Experiences

We recognize that sound and music are central to our underground culture, yet we're committed to making these experiences accessible to all users, including those with hearing differences.

Our audio content includes visual representations, descriptive text, and alternative formats. The frequencies of inclusion resonate through every aspect of our portal.
