Accessibility Statement
At Chromatic Visions Studio, we are committed to ensuring that our website and digital content are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. This commitment aligns with our core values of inclusivity and social responsibility.
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments.
Our efforts to provide an accessible digital experience are ongoing. We regularly review and update our website to address accessibility issues and implement new features that enhance usability for all users. We also provide training to our staff on accessibility best practices to ensure that all content creators are aware of and adhere to accessibility guidelines.
Accessibility Features
To ensure that our website is accessible to as many people as possible, we have implemented the following accessibility features:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand and navigate.
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that provides a textual alternative to the image content. This allows users who are unable to see the images to understand their meaning and purpose.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using only a keyboard, allowing users with motor impairments to access all content and functionality.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision or color blindness. We utilize color contrast analysers during the design process to verify compliance.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. Our responsive design ensures that the layout adapts to different screen sizes and text sizes.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need. We also use breadcrumbs to assist with navigation.
- Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions to help users understand what information is required. We also provide error messages to assist users in correcting any mistakes.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, such as screen readers. This enhances the accessibility of interactive elements and dynamic content.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Descriptive Links: Link text is descriptive and provides clear information about the destination of the link. We avoid using generic link text such as "click here."
- Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, meaning it adapts to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that users can access our content on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Dark Mode Compatibility: Our website includes a dark mode option for users who prefer a darker color scheme. This can improve readability and reduce eye strain, especially in low-light environments.
- Use of Accessible Fonts: We use fonts that are easy to read and accessible to users with dyslexia or other visual impairments. The Inter font has been selected for its clarity and legibility.
- Regular Audits: We conduct regular accessibility audits of our website to identify and address any accessibility issues. These audits are performed by both internal staff and external accessibility experts.
- Assistive Technology Testing: We test our website with a variety of assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to ensure that it is compatible and usable by people with disabilities.
