Accessibility Statement for AuroraSound Studios
AuroraSound Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of disability. We are dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
To support this commitment, we are implementing the following measures:
- Regularly reviewing our website for accessibility issues.
- Providing training to our staff on accessibility best practices.
- Using accessibility testing tools to identify and address potential barriers.
- Incorporating accessibility considerations into our website design and development processes.
- Seeking feedback from users with disabilities to improve our website’s accessibility.
Accessibility Features
We have incorporated several features into our website to enhance accessibility for users with disabilities, including:
- Alternative Text: Providing descriptive alternative text for all images and non-text content. This allows screen readers to convey the content of images to visually impaired users.
- Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring that all website features and content are accessible using keyboard navigation alone. This benefits users who cannot use a mouse or pointing device.
- Color Contrast: Maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background elements to improve readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: Implementing a clear and consistent navigation structure to help users easily find the information they need.
- Resizable Text: Allowing users to resize text up to 200% without losing content or functionality.
- Semantic HTML: Using semantic HTML elements to structure content logically and provide meaningful context to assistive technologies.
- Form Labels: Associating labels with all form fields to provide clear instructions and context to users of screen readers.
- ARIA Attributes: Utilizing ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
Assistive Technology Compatibility
Our website is designed to be compatible with a wide range of assistive technologies, including:
- Screen Readers: We have tested our website with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver to ensure compatibility and usability.
- Screen Magnifiers: Our website is designed to work effectively with screen magnifiers, allowing users with low vision to enlarge content without loss of functionality.
- Voice Recognition Software: We are working to improve compatibility with voice recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
