Accessibility at Stellaris Studios

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Stellaris 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 functionality, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which provides guidelines for making web content more accessible. These guidelines address a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented various features to enhance the accessibility of our website:

• Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all meaningful images and non-text content. This allows screen readers to convey the content and purpose of these elements to users with visual impairments.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make the content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Clear and Consistent Structure: We use headings, lists, and other structural elements to organize content in a clear and consistent manner, making it easier for users to navigate and understand the information.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily adjust the text size on our website using browser settings or assistive technologies.
• Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions to guide users in completing the forms accurately.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: We provide captions and transcripts for all video content to make it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive and adapt to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring a consistent and accessible experience across various platforms.

Ongoing Efforts

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website. This includes regular audits, user testing with individuals with disabilities, and ongoing training for our staff. We also welcome feedback from our users and are committed to addressing any accessibility issues promptly.

To ensure our ongoing commitment, we conduct regular accessibility audits. Our most recent audit was performed on November 5, 2024, by AccessFirst, an independent accessibility consulting firm. The audit revealed that our website largely conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, with a few minor areas identified for improvement, which are currently being addressed.
