Accessibility Statement for Affordable Contracting, Inc.

1. Accessibility Commitment

Affordable Contracting, Inc. (“Affordable Contracting,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to providing a website experience that is reasonably accessible and usable for visitors, including people with disabilities.

We recognize that customers, prospective customers, applicants, vendors, subcontractors, employees, and other visitors may use different browsers, devices, assistive technologies, screen readers, keyboard navigation, mobile devices, magnification tools, speech-recognition tools, and other methods to access online information.

Our goal is to make reasonable efforts to provide access to information about our company, services, showroom, contact options, estimate requests, legal documents, and future portal access.

2. Scope of This Statement

This Accessibility Statement applies to the public website pages operated by Affordable Contracting, including service pages, estimate request pages, contact pages, gallery pages, review pages, legal-document pages, and future public-facing intake pages.

This statement is also intended to guide future development of customer portal access, employee portal access, vendor access, subcontractor access, employment application forms, vendor onboarding forms, subcontractor onboarding forms, and QR-code visitor intake pages.

Some website features may still be in development, preview mode, local preview mode, or connected to third-party systems in the future. We will continue working toward reasonable accessibility as the website and portal system are developed and updated.

3. Standards and Approach

Affordable Contracting intends to make reasonable efforts to improve website accessibility using commonly recognized website accessibility practices. Where practical, our goal is to consider Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) principles, including perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust website content.

We may evaluate website accessibility using a combination of manual review, browser testing, keyboard testing, assistive-technology considerations, automated scans, user feedback, and development improvements.

No website can guarantee compatibility with every device, browser, assistive technology, user setting, third-party plugin, third-party content, or future technology. However, we intend to address reported barriers in a commercially reasonable manner.

4. Accessibility Features and Practices

The website is being developed with accessibility considerations such as:

• Clear page structure and headings.
• Readable fonts and strong contrast using the company’s black and yellow color scheme.
• Descriptive page titles and meta descriptions.
• Responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
• Keyboard-accessible navigation where practical.
• Consistent header, navigation, contact information, and footer structure.
• Text-based contact options including phone number and email address.
• Clear labels and instructions for forms when live forms are implemented.
• Reasonable efforts to use meaningful link text.
• Legal documents and notices written in plain, organized sections.

As the website transitions from local preview to a hosted live website, additional accessibility review should be performed before launch.

5. Limitations and Ongoing Improvements

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. Some portions of the website may not function perfectly for every user or every assistive technology, especially while pages are being developed, previewed, replaced, or connected to future systems.

Certain limitations may relate to:

• Third-party images, embedded content, maps, reviews, videos, or links.
• Legacy content, preview content, or pages being updated.
• Browser, device, operating system, or assistive-technology differences.
• Future portal features not yet connected to live authentication or databases.
• PDFs, images, files, customer-submitted documents, vendor documents, or subcontractor documents.
• Content or tools provided by third-party platforms outside our direct control.

We intend to review and improve accessibility over time, especially when new public forms, portal access, employment applications, vendor onboarding, subcontractor onboarding, or customer-facing features are launched.

6. Third-Party Content and External Links

The website may link to or use third-party services such as maps, review platforms, social media platforms, embedded images, videos, payment processors, analytics tools, vendor websites, manufacturer websites, permitting portals, or other external services.

Affordable Contracting does not control the accessibility of third-party websites, platforms, plug-ins, widgets, tools, or external services. We are not responsible for third-party accessibility barriers, policies, practices, content, outages, errors, or technology limitations.

If a third-party feature prevents you from accessing information you need from Affordable Contracting, please contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to provide the information through an alternative method when appropriate.

7. Requesting Accessibility Assistance

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of the website, you may contact us and request assistance. We may be able to provide information by phone, email, scheduled appointment, in-person showroom visit, or another reasonable method.

To help us respond, please include as much of the following information as possible:

• The page or feature you were trying to access.
• The problem you experienced.
• The browser, device, and assistive technology you were using, if applicable.
• The information, service, form, or document you were trying to reach.
• Your preferred contact method.

8. Accessibility Feedback Process

We welcome accessibility feedback. Reports of website barriers help us improve the website and identify issues that may not be obvious during ordinary testing.

You may submit accessibility feedback by calling or emailing Affordable Contracting. Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless necessary for us to respond to your request.

Accessibility feedback does not create a contract, guarantee a particular remediation timeline, establish liability, or waive any legal rights or defenses available to Affordable Contracting.

9. Response Timing

We will make reasonable efforts to review accessibility requests and respond in a commercially reasonable time. Response timing may depend on the nature of the request, staff availability, business hours, technical complexity, third-party involvement, and whether additional information is needed.

Our regular office hours are Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM. We are closed on weekends, although after-hours and weekend appointments may be available when scheduled in advance.

10. No Admission, Warranty, or Waiver

This Accessibility Statement is provided to communicate our good-faith accessibility efforts and contact process. It is not an admission that any particular law, regulation, standard, guideline, technical requirement, or accessibility claim applies in any particular way to the website.

Nothing in this statement creates a warranty, guarantee, contract, legal admission, settlement offer, waiver, or promise that every website feature will always be accessible, error-free, or compatible with every technology.

Affordable Contracting reserves all rights, defenses, and remedies available under applicable law.

11. Updates to This Statement

We may update this Accessibility Statement from time to time as the website, technology, laws, business operations, public forms, and portal features change. When we update this statement, we may revise the effective date.
