Our Commitment to Web Accessibility
Shade Sail Structure, LLC. is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
This website endeavors to conform to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for all people.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content are checked against these standards.
While Shade Sail Structure strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. Please note that we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites to which we may link.

Why ADA Accessibility Matters
Imagine trying to navigate a website without being able to see the screen or attempting to watch a video without being able to hear the audio. For millions of people with disabilities, these scenarios are daily realities. By optimizing your website for ADA accessibility, you’re opening your virtual doors to a wider audience and demonstrating your commitment to inclusivity.
Our Comprehensive Approach to ADA Optimization
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
- At Shade Sail Structure, LLC., we understand that true accessibility goes beyond mere compliance. Our team of experts is dedicated to enhancing the usability and accessibility of our website through a range of specialized actions:
- Visual Accessibility: We ensure proper color contrast for visually impaired users and add descriptive alt text to images, allowing screen readers to convey visual content effectively.
- Auditory Accessibility: For hearing-impaired users, we implement captions on videos and provide text alternatives for audio content.
- Navigation Optimization: We structure our website with proper headings and include a “Skip to Content” link, making it easier for users to navigate using keyboards or screen readers.
- Form Accessibility: Our team optimizes forms with clear labels and helpful error messages, ensuring a smooth experience for all users.
- Keyboard Compatibility: We make sure our entire website can be navigated using just a keyboard, accommodating users who can’t use a mouse.
Going Above and Beyond
Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond individual websites. We strive to make the entire web more inclusive by adhering to internationally recognized standards. Our optimization process is guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines represent the gold standard in web accessibility and help ensure that your site meets or exceeds global best practices.
Our team strives to achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and is constantly devoting resources to continuing improvements with that standard in mind.
