Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Starlight Studios, we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

We continuously work to improve the accessibility of our website and digital content. We believe everyone deserves equal access to information and services, and we are dedicated to ensuring our website is user-friendly for all.

Accessibility Features Implemented

• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to easily access all content and functionality. Use the Tab key to move through interactive elements and the Enter key to activate links and buttons.
• Screen Reader Compatibility: We have optimized our website to be compatible with screen reader software. Semantic HTML structure, appropriate use of ARIA attributes, and descriptive alternative text for images ensure that screen reader users can understand and navigate our content effectively.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully chosen color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read and understand our content.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text, providing screen reader users with information about the content and purpose of each image.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for all users to find the information they need.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size of our website using their browser settings, allowing them to customize the reading experience to their individual needs.
• Video Accessibility: We strive to provide captions or transcripts for all video content on our website, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Forms Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities, including clear labels, instructions, and error messages.

Specific Accessibility Considerations for Video Production

As a video production company, Starlight Studios extends its commitment to accessibility beyond our website. We recognize that video content itself must be accessible to a diverse audience. To that end, we offer the following accessibility features for video production projects:

• Closed Captioning: We provide accurate and synchronized closed captioning services for all video content, ensuring that deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers can understand the dialogue and important sounds.
• Audio Description: For viewers with visual impairments, we offer audio description services that narrate the key visual elements of a video, providing context and enhancing the viewing experience.
• Transcript Services: We can create text transcripts of video content, allowing users to read the information presented in the video at their own pace.
• Descriptive Visuals: In the production process, we strive to use clear and descriptive visuals that are easy to understand, even without audio narration.
• Consideration for Sensory Sensitivities: We are mindful of potential sensory sensitivities, such as flashing lights or sudden loud noises, and work to minimize their impact on viewers.

Conformance Status

This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA, meaning that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website and address any remaining issues.
