Accessibility Statement for StudioLens

StudioLens is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards. We believe everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of disability.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

StudioLens strives 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.

Conformance Status

The StudioLens website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA, meaning that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to address these areas and bring the entire website into full conformance.

Here are some of the measures we have taken to improve accessibility:

• Alternative Text: We provide alternative text descriptions for images and other non-text content, allowing users of screen readers to understand the content.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard, making it easier for users who cannot use a mouse.
• Color Contrast: We have ensured sufficient color contrast between text and background colors, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
• Clear and Simple Language: We use clear and simple language throughout the website to make it easier for users with cognitive disabilities to understand the content.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that users can access the content regardless of the device they are using.
• Forms and Labels: All forms are properly labeled, with clear instructions and error messages. This helps users to easily complete the forms.
• Consistent Navigation: We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout the website, making it easier for users to find what they are looking for.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure the content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand the content.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, where necessary.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the StudioLens website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

• Dynamic Content: Some dynamic content, such as slideshows and interactive maps, may not be fully accessible. We are working to improve the accessibility of these elements.
• Third-Party Content: Our website may contain content from third-party sources, such as social media feeds. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of this content, but we encourage third-party providers to adhere to accessibility standards.
• Older Documents: Some older documents, such as PDF files, may not be fully accessible. We are working to replace these documents with accessible alternatives.
