Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Studio Lumina, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a website that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, adhering to the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

We believe that digital accessibility is not just a legal requirement, but a fundamental aspect of inclusive design. Our goal is to create an online experience that is equitable and accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or assistive technologies they may use.

Accessibility Features Implemented

To achieve our accessibility goals, we have implemented a variety of features and best practices throughout our website:

  • Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content in a meaningful and logical way, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret and navigate.
  • Alternative Text: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the image's content and purpose to users who cannot see it.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device to access all content and functionality.
  • Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color palettes that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, ensuring readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
  • Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser's built-in zoom functionality, without losing content or functionality.
  • ARIA Attributes: We have implemented ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of interactive elements and provide additional information to assistive technologies.
  • Form Accessibility: Our forms are designed with clear labels, instructions, and error messages to ensure that all users can easily complete them.
  • Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts, providing access to the audio content for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
  • Consistent Navigation: We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout our website, making it easy for users to find their way around.

Specific ARIA Implementation Details

We utilize ARIA attributes to provide more context to assistive technologies, ensuring a better user experience for individuals with disabilities. Here are some examples of how we use ARIA:

  • aria-label: Used to provide descriptive labels for elements that do not have visible text labels.
  • aria-describedby: Used to associate an element with descriptive text, providing additional context or instructions.
  • aria-hidden="true": Used to hide decorative elements from assistive technologies, preventing them from being announced to users.
  • aria-live="polite": Used to announce dynamic content updates to assistive technologies without interrupting the user's current task.
  • aria-expanded: Used to indicate whether a collapsible element is currently expanded or collapsed.
  • role="navigation": Used to identify the main navigation section of the page.
  • role="button": Used to explicitly define interactive elements as buttons for screen readers.

Keyboard Navigation Details

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can use the following keys to navigate:

  • Tab: Moves focus to the next interactive element (e.g., links, buttons, form fields).
  • Shift + Tab: Moves focus to the previous interactive element.
  • Enter: Activates the currently focused link or button.
  • Arrow Keys: Used to navigate within certain elements, such as menus or lists.
  • Spacebar: Activates a checkbox or button.
  • Home: Navigates to the beginning of the page.
  • End: Navigates to the end of the page.

We have ensured that the focus order is logical and intuitive, allowing users to easily navigate the website using a keyboard alone.

Assistive Technologies Compatibility

We have tested our website with a variety of assistive technologies, including:

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

While we strive to ensure compatibility with all assistive technologies, we acknowledge that there may be some limitations. We are committed to addressing any accessibility issues that are reported to us.

  • Regularly auditing our website for accessibility issues.
