Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Stellaris Studios, we are committed to ensuring that our website and services are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and opportunities online. This commitment aligns with our core values of inclusivity and respect for all users.

We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a set of internationally recognized standards for web accessibility. These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments. By implementing these guidelines, we aim to create a user-friendly and inclusive online experience for all visitors to our website.

Our dedication to accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly review and update our website to ensure it meets or exceeds the latest accessibility standards. We are also committed to providing training and resources to our team members to ensure they understand and uphold our accessibility principles.

Assistive Technologies

We design our website to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, and keyboard navigation tools. We understand that users rely on these technologies to access and interact with web content, and we strive to ensure our website functions seamlessly with them.

Here are some specific examples of how we support assistive technologies:

• Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all images and non-text content, allowing screen readers to convey the meaning and purpose of these elements to users with visual impairments. For example, the Stellaris Studios logo has the alt text "Stellaris Studios logo - Professional Video Production".
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated entirely using a keyboard, enabling users with motor impairments to access all content and functionality without relying on a mouse. The tab order is logical and intuitive.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, providing a clear and logical organization that assistive technologies can easily interpret. This includes proper use of headings, lists, and ARIA landmarks.
• Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors, making our content easier to read for users with low vision or color blindness. We regularly test our color contrast ratios to meet WCAG guidelines.
• Forms and Labels: Our forms include clear and descriptive labels, making it easier for users to understand the purpose of each field and complete the form accurately. We use ARIA attributes to provide additional context and guidance where necessary.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. Our responsive design ensures that the layout adapts appropriately to different text sizes and screen resolutions.

Testing and Validation

We regularly conduct accessibility testing using a combination of automated tools and manual reviews. This helps us identify and address any accessibility issues that may arise. We also welcome feedback from our users, and we are committed to making continuous improvements to our website's accessibility.

Our testing includes:

• Automated Testing: We use automated tools such as WAVE and Axe to scan our website for common accessibility errors. These tools help us quickly identify issues such as missing alternative text, insufficient color contrast, and broken links.
• Manual Review: We conduct manual reviews of our website to assess its accessibility from a user perspective. This includes testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies.
• User Feedback: We actively solicit feedback from our users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement. We value this feedback and use it to guide our ongoing accessibility efforts.
