Aurora Design Studio is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to information and services.
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Our accessibility efforts include:
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can navigate through links, forms, and other interactive elements using the Tab key. Shift+Tab can be used to navigate backwards. We have also implemented skip navigation links to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and jump directly to the main content of each page. These links are usually the first interactive elements on each page.
We have taken steps to ensure our website is compatible with screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. This includes providing appropriate ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements. We regularly test our website with screen readers to identify and address any accessibility issues.
We have carefully selected color palettes to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read and understand the content on our website. We strive to maintain a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as recommended by WCAG 2.1.
All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This allows screen reader users to understand the content and purpose of each image. We strive to provide alt text that is accurate, concise, and informative.
We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout the website to help users easily find the information they need. Our main navigation menu is located at the top of each page, and a footer navigation provides links to important pages such as our privacy policy, terms and conditions, and contact information.
All forms on our website are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities. We use appropriate labels for form fields and provide clear instructions for completing each form. We also use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of form elements and provide error messages when necessary.
Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser's built-in text resizing functionality. This allows users with low vision to increase the text size for improved readability.
We provide captions and transcripts for all videos on our website to make them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing. We also provide audio descriptions for videos when appropriate to enhance the viewing experience for users with visual impairments.
Despite our best efforts, some accessibility issues may still exist on our website. We are continuously working to address these issues and improve the overall accessibility of our website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us using the information provided below.
Currently, dynamically loaded content and some third-party widgets may not be fully accessible. We are working with our vendors to ensure these elements meet our accessibility standards.
