Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Starlight Studios, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We believe that our website should be accessible to people of all abilities, regardless of technology or environment. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to information and services.

This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to provide a website that adheres to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA success criteria. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user-friendly for everyone.

Accessibility Features

We have incorporated the following accessibility features into our website:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand the content and organization of our pages.
• Alternative Text: All images and non-text elements have descriptive alternative text (alt text) to provide context for users who cannot see the images.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
• Color Contrast: We have ensured sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to improve readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure to help users easily find the information they need.
• Forms: All form fields are properly labeled and include clear instructions to assist users in completing forms.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts to provide access to audio content for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of interactive elements, providing additional information to assistive technologies.

Conformance Status

The Starlight Studios website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are continuously working to address these issues and improve the accessibility of our website.

Our goal is to achieve full conformance with WCAG 2.1 level AA and provide a website that is accessible to all users. We regularly evaluate our website using automated testing tools and manual accessibility audits to identify and address accessibility issues.

We conduct regular audits, at least quarterly, performed by Access Insights, a third-party accessibility firm. This ensures unbiased feedback and identifies areas for improvement.

Assistive Technologies Used

We have tested our website with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen Readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver
• Screen Magnifiers: ZoomText, Windows Magnifier
• Voice Recognition Software: Dragon NaturallySpeaking

We recommend using the latest versions of these assistive technologies for the best experience.
