Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Starlight Studios, located at 555 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, 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 digital content, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.

This accessibility statement outlines the measures we have taken to provide an inclusive online experience for all users.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Starlight Studios strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Starlight Studios takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Provide alternative text for images: All images have descriptive alternative text so users who cannot see the images can understand their purpose.
• Use proper heading structure: We use semantic heading tags (H1-H6) to organize content, making it easier for users to navigate.
• Ensure sufficient color contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background to ensure readability for users with low vision.
• Keyboard navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content.
• Provide transcripts and captions for videos: All videos include captions and transcripts to make them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Use ARIA attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies.
• Regular accessibility audits: We conduct regular accessibility audits to identify and address any accessibility issues. These audits are performed by third-party accessibility consultants.
• Ongoing training for our team: Our web development and content creation teams receive ongoing training on accessibility best practices.
• Simple and clear language: We strive to use simple and clear language throughout our website to make it easy to understand.
