Accessibility Statement

Luminance Studio is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards. Our aim is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines outline four main principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. By adhering to these principles, we make our website more accessible to people with disabilities.

We understand that accessibility is an ongoing effort. Therefore, we regularly review our website and make improvements to ensure it meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Our efforts include:

Using semantic HTML to provide a clear structure and meaning to our content.
Providing alternative text for all images and non-text content.
Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
Making all website functionality available through a keyboard.
Using ARIA attributes to enhance accessibility for assistive technologies.
Providing clear and consistent navigation.
Writing clear and concise content.

We are dedicated to providing a website that is easy to use and accessible to all users. However, we recognize that there may be areas for improvement. If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using our website, please let us know. Your feedback is valuable and will help us to make our website even better.

Accessibility Features Implemented

Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand the layout and organization of our pages.
Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This helps users who are blind or visually impaired understand the content of the images using screen readers. For example, an image of the Golden Gate Bridge will have alt text like: "The Golden Gate Bridge spanning the San Francisco Bay, seen from a distance on a sunny day."
Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, using the tab key, arrow keys, and enter key. This is crucial for users who cannot use a mouse.
Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors throughout the website. This makes it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read the content. We maintain a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as recommended by WCAG guidelines.
ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional semantic information to assistive technologies. ARIA attributes help to define the roles, states, and properties of interactive elements, making them more accessible to users with disabilities. For example, we use ARIA labels for form fields to provide clear instructions, and ARIA live regions to announce dynamic content updates.
Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need. The main navigation menu is always accessible at the top of the page, and we use breadcrumbs to help users understand their location within the site.
Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. This can be done using the browser's built-in zoom feature or by adjusting the font size settings.
Form Accessibility: All form fields are properly labeled and include clear instructions. We use appropriate input types and attributes to ensure that users can easily enter and submit information. We also provide error messages to help users correct any mistakes.
