Accessibility Statement for Starlight Studios
At Starlight Studios, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continually improve the user experience for all visitors and strive to apply the relevant accessibility standards. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities.
Our Commitment
Starlight Studios is dedicated to making its website accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many available standards and guidelines.
This website endeavors to conform to Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for all people.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented several features to enhance accessibility, including:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, providing a clear and logical organization that assistive technologies can easily interpret.
- Alternative Text: All images have descriptive alternative text to convey their meaning to users who cannot see them. For example, the Starlight Studios logo has the alt text "Starlight Studios Logo - A shining star above the company name," and images of our studio rooms provide descriptive information like "The Zenith Room: A spacious studio with natural light and minimalist decor."
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision. Our color palette is carefully chosen to meet WCAG guidelines, ensuring readability for all users.
- Clear and Simple Language: We use clear and simple language to make our content easy to understand for everyone. We avoid jargon and technical terms where possible, and we provide explanations for any terms that may be unfamiliar.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to increase the text size to a comfortable reading level.
- Form Accessibility: Our forms are designed to be accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages. We use ARIA attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies.
- Consistent Navigation: We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout our website, making it easy for users to find what they are looking for. The main navigation is located at the top of each page and includes links to the most important sections of our website: Home, Rooms, Services, Pricing, Contact, and Accessibility.
- Theme Toggle: A theme toggle is available to switch between light and dark themes, providing users with a choice that suits their visual preferences. This is especially helpful for users with sensitivity to light or those who prefer a darker interface.
- Cookie Banner: A cookie banner informs users about the use of cookies on our website and provides options to accept or decline them. This ensures compliance with privacy regulations and gives users control over their data.
- ARIA Roles and Attributes: We use ARIA roles and attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, improving the accessibility of our website for users with disabilities.
- Focus Indicators: Clear focus indicators are provided for keyboard navigation, ensuring that users can easily see which element is currently selected.
