Accessibility Statement in DeLand

Effective Date: April 23, 2026

Last Updated: April 23, 2026

Bowman Web Services LLC is committed to making the Volusia AI Network — including daytonabeachai.com, portorangeai.com, ormondbeachai.com, newsmyrnabeachai.com, and delandai.com — usable by the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We treat accessibility as a baseline of basic respect, not a checkbox.

Our Standard

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as our working standard. WCAG 2.1 AA is the same standard referenced by:

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for digital accessibility expectations
• Title III of the ADA as interpreted by the U.S. Department of Justice
• Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
• State accessibility laws including Florida statutes governing public accommodations

We measure our sites against this standard and continuously work to close any gaps we find.

What We Do

To meet our commitment, we:

• Use semantic HTML (proper heading order, landmark regions, descriptive link text) so screen readers and other assistive technology can navigate our sites correctly
• Maintain visible focus indicators on all interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields) for keyboard-only users
• Provide skip-to-content links so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation
• Use color contrast that meets or exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA minimums (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI components)
• Write meaningful alt attributes for images, or mark decorative images appropriately so they’re skipped by assistive technology
• Avoid relying on color alone to convey meaning
• Build forms with associated labels and clear error messaging
• Test our pages against keyboard-only navigation as part of every site update

Known Limitations

We are honest about gaps. Areas we are still actively working on:

• Third-party embeds: Some embedded widgets (chat, video players, scheduling tools) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We choose vendors with the best accessibility we can find and replace ones that fall short.
• PDF documents: Older PDFs may not be fully tagged for screen readers. New PDFs are produced as accessible files.
• AI agent responses: Spoken AI responses are not yet captioned in real time. We are evaluating real-time captioning for our AI voice agents.

If you encounter a barrier that’s not on this list, please tell us — see Contact below.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

We test against current versions of:

• Screen readers: NVDA (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS, iOS), TalkBack (Android)
• Browsers: Latest two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
• Operating systems: Windows 10/11, macOS, iOS, Android

If a specific combination is not working for you, let us know. Older browsers or unmaintained assistive technology may not be supported, but we will still try to help you accomplish what you came to do.

How to Request an Accommodation

If you cannot access something on a Volusia AI Network site — or if you can but it’s painful — we will work with you directly to provide the same information or service in a format that works for you.

This includes:

• Reading content aloud over the phone
• Sending information by email or text in plain text
• Walking you through a phone call instead of a website form
• Connecting you with a human team member instead of an AI agent on request

Reporting an Accessibility Issue

If you find an accessibility barrier — anywhere on any Volusia AI Network site — please tell us. We treat accessibility issues as priority bug reports.

When reporting, helpful information to include:

• The page URL where you ran into the issue
• What you were trying to do
• What happened (or didn’t happen)
• Your assistive technology (screen reader, browser, OS) if applicable

We aim to respond within 5 business days with a plan, a fix, or both.

Continuous Improvement

This statement reflects our current commitment and known status. As we add features, redesign pages, or roll out new sites in the network, we re-test for accessibility. This statement is updated when our practices or known limitations change.
