At Shade Specialties, we are committed to ensuring that our website and services are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a positive user experience for all visitors by meeting or exceeding the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

Our Commitment

Since 1979, Shade Specialties has proudly served the Portland area with personalized design, craftsmanship, and care. That same dedication extends to accessibility—both in our physical locations and our online experience.

We aim to make our website easy to navigate, understandable, and usable for all people, regardless of ability or technology.

Accessibility Features

We have taken steps to make our website accessible by:

• Using clear, high-contrast text and simple color schemes for readability

• Providing descriptive alternative text (“alt text”) for all meaningful images

• Enabling keyboard navigation for key site functions

• Ensuring responsive design for screen readers and assistive devices

• Structuring content with clear headings and labels for easy navigation

• Avoiding the use of flashing or blinking elements that may cause discomfort

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing priority. We regularly review our website and work with accessibility specialists to identify and address potential barriers.

Our team is continuously improving content and design to ensure compliance with current accessibility standards and best practices.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure all elements of our website are accessible, some third-party content or plugins (such as maps, social media feeds, or videos) may not fully meet accessibility standards. We do not control these elements but welcome feedback on any barriers you encounter.

Feedback and Assistance

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our website and services.

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website, please let us know so we can assist you promptly.
