Accessibility Statement for Visionary Studios
Visionary Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards. We believe that our website should be accessible to people of all abilities, and we strive to provide an inclusive online experience.
This accessibility statement outlines our efforts to make our website accessible and provides information on how to report accessibility issues.
Conformance Status
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. Visionary Studios is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
We are actively working to achieve full conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and regularly review our website to identify and address accessibility barriers.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following accessibility features to enhance the usability of our website:
- Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all images and non-text content, ensuring that users with screen readers can understand the content.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
- Clear and Consistent Structure: We use headings, lists, and other structural elements to organize content logically and make it easier to understand.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to improve readability for users with low vision.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings without losing content or functionality.
- Form Labels and Instructions: We provide clear labels and instructions for all form fields to help users understand how to complete them.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: We provide captions and transcripts for all video content to make it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
We are also actively exploring and implementing more advanced accessibility features such as:
- Focus indicators: Ensuring that elements have clear and visible focus indicators when they are selected with a keyboard
- Skip navigation links: Providing skip navigation links to bypass repetitive content and directly access the main content of a page
- Proper use of semantic HTML: Using appropriate HTML5 tags (e.g., <article>, <aside>, <nav>) to define the structure of the page for assistive technologies.
- Automated accessibility testing: Regularly utilizing tools like WAVE, axe, or Lighthouse to identify and address accessibility issues during the development process.
