Accessibility Statement for Creative Studio

Creative Studio is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users, including those with disabilities.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We firmly believe that the internet should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as these guidelines outline internationally recognized best practices for creating accessible web content. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps to make the web more user-friendly for all people.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Creative Studio takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Regular Accessibility Audits: We conduct regular audits of our website using both automated tools and manual testing to identify and address accessibility issues.
• Accessible Design Principles: We incorporate accessibility considerations into our design process from the outset, ensuring that new features and content are accessible by default.
• Assistive Technology Compatibility: We test our website with a variety of assistive technologies, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition software, to ensure compatibility.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: We maintain a clear and consistent navigation structure throughout our website to help users easily find the information they need.
• Alternative Text for Images: We provide descriptive alternative text for all images on our website, allowing users who are unable to see the images to understand their content.
• Keyboard Navigation: We ensure that all interactive elements on our website are navigable using the keyboard, allowing users who are unable to use a mouse to access all functionality.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to ensure that our website is readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Adjustable Text Size: We allow users to adjust the text size on our website to meet their individual needs.
• Forms Accessibility: We design our forms to be accessible to users with disabilities, including providing clear labels, instructions, and error messages.
• Video Accessibility: We provide captions and transcripts for all video content on our website, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Specific Accessibility Features

Here are some specific features we have implemented to enhance accessibility:

• Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page to allow users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content area.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information about the structure and functionality of our website to assistive technologies.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content in a meaningful way, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand.
