Accessibility Features of Our Website
Lumiere Studios has implemented several features to enhance the accessibility of our website for users with disabilities. We are committed to continually improving the accessibility of our platform and providing a seamless and user-friendly experience for all visitors.
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text that conveys the content and function of the image to users who are unable to see it. This feature allows users with visual impairments to understand the information presented in images and to navigate the website effectively.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device to access all content and functionality. We have ensured that all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, are accessible via keyboard navigation.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read and understand the content on our website. We have also avoided using color alone to convey important information.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they are looking for. We have used descriptive headings and labels to help users understand the organization of our content and navigate the website efficiently.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser settings, allowing them to customize the display to their individual needs. We have ensured that the text remains readable and functional at different sizes.
- Semantic HTML: We have used semantic HTML elements to structure our content, providing clear meaning and context to assistive technologies. This helps users with disabilities to understand the organization and purpose of our content and to navigate the website effectively.
- Form Accessibility: All form fields on our website are properly labeled and provide clear instructions to users, making it easier for them to fill out forms accurately. We have also implemented error handling to provide helpful feedback to users who make mistakes.
- Skip Navigation Link: A "skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and jump directly to the main content of the page. This is particularly helpful for users who use screen readers or keyboard navigation.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts, providing access to the audio content for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of complex interactive elements.
We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website and welcome your feedback on how we can further enhance the user experience for all visitors.
