Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Lumiere Studios, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience our content and services without barriers. We strive to create a digital environment that is inclusive and user-friendly for all.
Accessibility Features Implemented
To achieve our accessibility goals, we have implemented the following features:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to interpret.
- ARIA Attributes: We have incorporated ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of interactive elements, providing additional information to assistive technologies.
- Alternative Text: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text), ensuring that users who cannot see the images can understand their content and purpose.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
- Adjustable Text Size: Users can easily adjust the text size in their browsers to suit their individual needs and preferences.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have implemented a clear and consistent navigation structure to help users easily find the information they are looking for.
- Forms Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with proper labels and instructions to guide users through the process.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content includes captions and transcripts, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Standards Compliance
We are committed to adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines provide a comprehensive set of recommendations for making web content more accessible. We regularly review and update our website to ensure that it meets or exceeds these standards.
Our efforts to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA include:
- Providing text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language.
- Providing captions and other alternatives for multimedia.
- Creating content that can be presented in different ways (for example simpler layout) without losing information or structure.
- Making it easier for users to see and hear content including separating foreground from background.
- Making all functionality available from a keyboard.
- Giving users enough time to read and use content.
- Not designing content in a way that is known to cause seizures.
- Helping users navigate, find content, and determine where they are.
- Making text content readable and understandable.
- Making web pages appear and operate in predictable ways.
- Helping users avoid and correct mistakes.
- Ensuring that content is robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
Assistive Technologies Testing
We routinely test our website with the following assistive technologies to ensure compatibility and optimal user experience:
