Accessibility Statement

Starlight Media Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website, www.starlightmediastudios.com, is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We firmly believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services online. As such, we have dedicated resources and efforts towards making our digital platforms compliant with accessibility guidelines and best practices.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Our commitment to accessibility is reflected in our design and development processes. We strive to adhere to the following principles:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. This means providing text alternatives for non-text content, captions and other alternatives for multimedia, and ensuring that content can be presented in different ways, including simpler layouts, without losing information or structure.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable. This includes making all functionality available from a keyboard, providing users enough time to read and use content, and avoiding content that causes seizures.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable. This means making text readable and understandable, ensuring that content appears and operates in predictable ways, and helping users avoid and correct mistakes.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Compliance Standards

To ensure our commitment is met, Starlight Media Studios adheres to the following standards:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG): We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA is a widely recognized benchmark for website accessibility.
• Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA): We use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and advanced user interface controls. ARIA provides a way to make web content and web applications more accessible to people with disabilities, particularly when using assistive technologies.

Specific Accessibility Measures

We have taken the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:

• Alternative Text: Providing descriptive alternative text for all images and non-text content. This allows screen reader users to understand the purpose and context of visual elements.
• Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring that all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard navigation. This allows users who cannot use a mouse to navigate and interact with the website.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: Maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to improve readability for users with low vision or color blindness. We utilize tools to verify compliance with contrast ratio requirements.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Providing clear and consistent navigation menus and site structure. This helps users easily find and access the information they need.
• Resizable Text: Allowing users to resize text without losing content or functionality. This caters to users with visual impairments who need to enlarge text for comfortable reading.
• Forms and Labels: Properly labeling form fields to provide context and instructions for users. This ensures that users understand what information is required and how to provide it.
• Semantic HTML: Using semantic HTML elements to structure content logically. This helps assistive technologies understand the content and present it to users in a meaningful way.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: Providing captions and transcripts for video and audio content. This makes multimedia content accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Regular Accessibility Audits: Conducting regular accessibility audits and testing to identify and address accessibility issues. We use a combination of automated tools and manual testing to ensure ongoing compliance. The audits are conducted by Amelia Rodriguez, our dedicated Accessibility Officer.
