Tone Shop Guitars is committed to ensuring that all persons with disabilities have full and equal access to our digital offerings. We are currently reviewing and updating the Tone Shop Guitars website (https://www.toneshopguitars.com/) to ensure that both the overall website and all content posted thereon are available and provided in accessible formats. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1 Level AA, below is our website accessibility implementation plan:

Phase One: Planning

  • Work with a website development company to conduct a full site audit.
  • Develop an implementation plan for making current and future website content accessible in accordance with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1 Level AA.
  • Create and publish an accessible website featuring the implementation plan.
  • Add a notice to the bottom page footer stating that we are in the process of updating our website to ensure ADA compliance.
  • Add a link to an internal accessible web page where visitors can view our accessibility statement which includes a telephone number and email address for visitors to request accessible information, to notify us of any issues or concerns, or to provide feedback or input into how accessibility can be improved.
