This accessibility statement describes the measures we are taking to ensure that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We understand that accessibility is an ongoing effort and we are dedicated to regularly reviewing and improving our practices.

Our Accessibility Efforts

Soundwave Studios has implemented the following measures to enhance the accessibility of our website:

  • WCAG Compliance: We strive to adhere to WCAG 2.1 level AA guidelines. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
  • Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content in a meaningful way. This helps assistive technologies like screen readers understand the content and present it to users in a logical manner.
  • ARIA Attributes: We incorporate ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information about the roles, states, and properties of elements on our website. This improves the accessibility of dynamic content and complex user interface components.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements and content using the tab key and other keyboard shortcuts.
  • Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text). This allows users who are unable to see images to understand the content and purpose of the images.
  • Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to meet WCAG requirements. This makes it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read the content on our website.
  • Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to adjust the text size to a comfortable reading level.
  • Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts. This makes the video content accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
  • Form Accessibility: Our forms are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities. We use clear labels, provide instructions, and validate input to help users complete the forms successfully.
  • Consistent Navigation: We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout our website. This makes it easier for users to find the information they are looking for.
  • Dark Mode Option: Users can switch to a dark mode theme for improved readability in low-light conditions.

Specific Accessibility Features

  • Focus Indicators: We use clear focus indicators to highlight the currently selected element when navigating with a keyboard.
  • Error Handling: Our forms include clear error messages and instructions to help users correct their input.
  • Session Timeouts: We provide users with advance warning of session timeouts to prevent data loss.
  • Clear and Concise Language: We use clear and concise language throughout our website to make it easier for users to understand the content.

We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. Our ongoing efforts include:

  • Regular Audits: We conduct regular accessibility audits using automated tools and manual testing to identify and address accessibility issues.
