Accessibility Statement

We are committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. ADA compliance is an ongoing process. We are actively working to improve the accessibility of this site and to identify and remediate any barriers to access.

In addition, accessibility may vary depending on the assistive technology, browser, or device being used. We continue to test and refine our website to improve compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies.

Some interactive tools on this site are provided by third-party vendors and may have accessibility limitations outside our direct control. If you experience difficulty accessing any content or functionality on this site, including content provided by third-party tools, please contact us at accessibility@goldenshovelagency.com, and we will work to provide the information in an alternative format or assist you in another way.

Note: This website uses an Elfsite display preference tool that provides visitor-controlled features including font resizing and contrast adjustments. This tool is a user-experience feature only. It is not a substitute for underlying code compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA, is not represented as a solution to ADA compliance, and should not be relied upon as evidence of compliance. Accessibility compliance is achieved through code-level remediation and ongoing manual auditing, both of which are actively underway.

Please contact accessibility@goldenshovelagency.com if you have questions about our approach to ADA compliance or would like to request an adjustment be made for your specific needs.
