Accessibility Statement for Starlight Media

At Starlight Media, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continually improve the user experience for all visitors and strive to apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Starlight Media is dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with all applicable standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA.

These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.

Measures to Support Accessibility

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

Including accessibility throughout our internal policies.
Providing continual accessibility training for our staff.
Assigning clear accessibility targets and responsibilities.
Employing formal accessibility quality assurance methods.

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 Media is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Accessibility Features

We have incorporated the following features to enhance accessibility:

Alternative Text: We provide alternative text descriptions for all meaningful images and non-text content. This allows users with visual impairments to understand the content of these elements using screen readers.
Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, using the Tab key and other standard keyboard commands.
Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have implemented a clear and consistent navigation structure throughout the website, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make the content easily readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with visual impairments to increase the text size to a comfortable level.
Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and interpret the information.
Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields are labeled with clear and concise instructions, making it easy for users to understand what information is required.
ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
Descriptive Link Text: We use descriptive link text that clearly indicates the destination of each link, allowing users to understand the purpose of the link without relying on surrounding context. For example, instead of "Click here," we use "Read more about our services."
Captions and Transcripts for Video and Audio Content: We strive to provide captions and transcripts for all video and audio content, making it accessible to users with hearing impairments.

Our website is designed to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including:
