Accessibility Statement for Stellaris Productions
Stellaris Productions is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continually improve the user experience for all visitors, and apply the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Stellaris Productions strives to be conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA as its target conformance level.
Measures to Support Accessibility
Stellaris Productions takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:
- Include accessibility throughout our internal policies.
- Integrate accessibility into our development practices.
- Provide continual accessibility training for our staff.
- Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods.
Specific Accessibility Features Implemented
To ensure a positive and inclusive user experience, Stellaris Productions has implemented the following accessibility features:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, providing a clear and logical structure for screen readers and other assistive technologies. This includes using appropriate headings, lists, and landmarks.
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) that convey the content and function of the image to users who cannot see them. For example, an image of our team collaborating is described as "A team of video production specialists brainstorming ideas in a creative workspace."
- 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 a logical tab order and visible focus indicators.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully chosen color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards for color contrast. We also provide a dark theme option for users who prefer it.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. The design is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes and text sizes.
- Form Accessibility: All form elements include clear labels and instructions, and are structured to be accessible to screen readers. We provide error messages that are both informative and accessible.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of complex widgets and dynamic content. This helps assistive technologies understand the role, state, and properties of these elements. For example, ARIA labels are used to provide additional context for interactive elements.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing. Transcripts are also provided for audio-only content.
- Consistent Navigation: We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout our website, making it easy for users to find the information they need. The navigation menu is accessible via keyboard and screen readers.
- Clear and Simple Language: We strive to use clear and simple language throughout our website, making it easier for users with cognitive disabilities to understand our content.
- Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures a consistent user experience across all platforms.
