Accessibility Statement for Aurora Studios

At Aurora Studios, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a website that is both user-friendly and compliant with accessibility standards. This accessibility statement outlines the measures we have taken to make our website accessible and provides information on how to report accessibility issues.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Aurora Studios is dedicated to providing a positive online experience for all users, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and ensure that it adheres to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide array of disabilities. Adhering to these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

We believe that accessibility is not just a legal requirement, but also a fundamental aspect of good design and user experience. We are committed to implementing and maintaining accessibility best practices throughout our website.

Accessibility Features Implemented

To ensure our website is accessible, we have implemented the following features:

  • Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to understand and navigate the website.
  • ARIA Attributes: We have incorporated ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements. For example, we use ARIA labels and descriptions to provide context for form fields and interactive widgets.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality. We have ensured that all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, are reachable and operable using the keyboard.
  • Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that accurately conveys the content and function of the image. This allows users who are blind or visually impaired to understand the purpose of the images.
  • Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read the content. We regularly test our color contrast using automated tools to ensure compliance with WCAG guidelines.
  • Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser settings without losing content or functionality. We have designed our website to be responsive and adapt to different text sizes.
  • Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have implemented a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need. Our main navigation menu is always accessible from every page on the website.
  • Form Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages. We have also implemented input validation to help users avoid errors and complete the forms successfully.
  • Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website have captions or transcripts available, making the content accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
  • Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, meaning it adapts to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that users can access our website on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
  • Dark Theme: Users can toggle between a light and dark theme to customize the website's appearance according to their preferences, improving readability and reducing eye strain.

We conduct regular accessibility audits and testing to identify and address any accessibility issues. We also welcome feedback from our users and are committed to making ongoing improvements to our website.
