Accessibility Statement for Stellaris Acting Academy

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Stellaris Acting Academy, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a website that is designed, developed, and maintained in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and conforming with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

We believe that digital accessibility is not just a legal requirement but a fundamental right. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to provide the best possible experience for all users.

Accessibility Features Implemented

To ensure our website is accessible, we have implemented the following features:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate.
• Alternative Text: All images and non-text content have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the meaning and purpose of the image to users who cannot see them.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, ensuring readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily increase the text size on our website without loss of content or functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
• Form Labels: All form fields have clear and descriptive labels, making it easier for users to understand the purpose of each field.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of interactive elements.
• Video Captions: All videos on our website include captions or transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• 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 go directly to the main content.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

We regularly review our website and content to ensure ongoing accessibility and compliance with WCAG guidelines.
