Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Aurora Studios, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that all users should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use. To that end, we are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website and provide a user-friendly experience for all.

Our commitment is rooted in the understanding that accessibility is not just a technical requirement, but a fundamental aspect of creating an inclusive and equitable online environment. We strive to design and develop our website in a way that caters to a diverse audience, taking into account the various needs and preferences of our users.

We understand that accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are dedicated to staying informed about the latest accessibility standards and best practices. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our website to identify areas for improvement and ensure that it remains accessible over time.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Aurora Studios has taken the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:

• Conformance to Standards: We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. This includes making our content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML tags to structure our content in a meaningful way, making it easier for assistive technologies like screen readers to understand and navigate. This helps ensure that users can easily find and access the information they need.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have alternative text descriptions (alt text) that provide a textual alternative for users who cannot see the images. These descriptions accurately convey the content and purpose of the images.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can easily access all interactive elements and content without relying on a mouse or other pointing device.
• Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with visual impairments. We regularly test our color combinations to ensure they meet accessibility standards.
• Adjustable Text Size: Users can easily adjust the text size on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to customize the text to a comfortable reading size.
• Clear and Simple Language: We use clear and simple language throughout our website to make our content easy to understand for all users. We avoid jargon and technical terms whenever possible.
• Forms Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with clear labels and instructions. We use appropriate input types and validation to ensure that users can easily complete the forms.
• Video Accessibility: We strive to provide captions and transcripts for all video content on our website, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing. We also ensure that our video players are keyboard-accessible.

Specific Technologies and Techniques Used

To further enhance accessibility, we employ the following technologies and techniques:

• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies about the roles, states, and properties of interactive elements on our website.
• 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 any device, regardless of their screen size or resolution.
• 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.
• User Testing: We involve users with disabilities in the testing process to gather feedback and ensure that our website meets their needs.
