Accessibility Statement for Aurora Studios

At Aurora Studios, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all users, and applying the relevant accessibility standards. Our goal is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Conformance Status

The Aurora Studios website strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA. WCAG 2.1 AA is the globally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines outline four main principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR). We are dedicated to adhering to these principles to ensure our website is usable by everyone.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Aurora Studios takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of the website:

• Alternative Text: All images and non-text content have alternative text descriptions that provide meaningful information for screen reader users. This ensures that users who cannot see the images can still understand their purpose and context. We regularly review and update alternative text to maintain accuracy and relevance.
• Keyboard Navigation: The website is fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, using the tab key. We have ensured a logical tab order to facilitate easy navigation.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully chosen color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background. This ensures readability for users with low vision or color blindness. Our design undergoes regular accessibility audits to maintain optimal color contrast ratios.
• Screen Reader Compatibility: The website is designed to be compatible with screen reader software. We use semantic HTML to structure content in a logical and understandable manner. ARIA attributes are used to enhance the accessibility of complex interactive elements.
• Clear and Simple Language: We use clear and simple language throughout the website to make it easy to understand for all users, including those with cognitive disabilities. We avoid jargon and complex sentence structures.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on the website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to increase the text size to a comfortable reading level.
• Consistent Navigation: We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout the website to help users easily find the information they need. The main navigation menu is always accessible and provides clear links to the key sections of the website.
• Form Accessibility: All forms on the website are designed to be accessible. Form fields have clear labels, and error messages are displayed in a clear and understandable manner. We use ARIA attributes to provide additional information and instructions for screen reader users.
• Video Accessibility: All videos on the website include captions and/or transcripts to provide access to users who are deaf or hard of hearing. Audio descriptions are provided where necessary to describe visual elements for users who are blind or have low vision.

Specific Accessibility Features Implemented

To further enhance the accessibility of our website, we have implemented the following specific features:

• Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to Content" link is provided at the top of each page to allow keyboard users to bypass the main navigation menu and jump directly to the main content.
• ARIA Landmarks: ARIA landmarks are used to define the different regions of the page, such as the header, navigation, main content, and footer. This helps screen reader users to quickly understand the structure of the page.
• Focus Indicators: Clear and visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements to help keyboard users track their location on the page.
• Error Prevention: Forms include features to prevent errors, such as input validation and confirmation messages.
