Accessibility Statement for Illuminate Studios

Illuminate Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and functionality, regardless of disability. As such, we have invested resources to ensure that our website is designed and developed to be as accessible as possible.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to enhance accessibility:

  • Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate.
  • Alternative Text: All images have descriptive alternative text, providing context for users who cannot see them. Our images are carefully chosen, and alt text is written to clearly and concisely communicate the content of the image, as well as its purpose on the page.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using a keyboard alone, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content and functionality.
  • Color Contrast: We have ensured sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with visual impairments. We utilize a color palette that is both aesthetically pleasing and meets accessibility standards.
  • Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. We have designed our website to be flexible and adapt to different text sizes, ensuring that all users can customize their reading experience.
  • Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find what they are looking for. The navigation menus are organized logically and labeled descriptively, so users can quickly and easily understand the layout of our website.
  • Forms with Labels: All form fields have clear and descriptive labels, making it easier for users to understand what information is required. We also provide helpful error messages to guide users through the form completion process.
  • ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of interactive elements. These attributes are carefully chosen to provide the most relevant and useful information to users with disabilities.
  • Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content includes captions and transcripts, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing. We ensure the captions are accurate and synchronized with the video content, providing a seamless viewing experience.
  • Screen Reader Compatibility: We regularly test our website with screen readers to ensure compatibility and identify any accessibility issues. We use tools such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver to verify that our website is fully accessible to screen reader users.

Some of the key principles of WCAG 2.1, level AA that we have implemented include:

  • Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
  • Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and ensure that it meets these standards.
