Accessibility Statement for Stellaris Studios
At Stellaris Studios, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a globally recognized standard for web accessibility.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
Stellaris Studios is dedicated to providing a website that is usable by all people, including those with disabilities. Our efforts are ongoing and are based on the following principles:
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. This means providing text alternatives for non-text content, captions and other alternatives for multimedia, and ensuring that content is adaptable and can be presented in different ways without losing information or structure.
- Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable. This includes making all functionality available from a keyboard, providing users enough time to read and use content, and avoiding content that could cause seizures.
- Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable. This means making text readable and understandable, making content appear and operate in predictable ways, and helping users avoid and correct mistakes.
- Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
Accessibility Features
We have incorporated the following features to enhance the accessibility of our website:
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text, ensuring that users who are unable to see the images can understand their content and purpose.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device to access all content and functionality.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have designed our website with a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors throughout our website, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser settings, without losing any content or functionality.
- Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions, making it easier for users to understand how to complete the forms.
- 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.
- ARIA Attributes: We have used ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information about the roles, states, and properties of user interface elements, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret and interact with the content.
- Dark Mode: Our website includes a dark mode toggle that allows users to switch to a high-contrast color scheme, which can be beneficial for users with visual impairments or those who prefer a darker interface.
