Accessibility Statement for Visionary Media Studios

Visionary Media Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Our Commitment

We believe that websites should be accessible to all users, regardless of disability. In our commitment to providing an inclusive experience, Visionary Media Studios strives to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to enhance the accessibility of our website:

• Alternative Text: Descriptive alternative text is provided for all meaningful images and non-text content. This allows screen reader users to understand the purpose and context of visual elements.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, enabling users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
• Color Contrast: We have ensured sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to meet WCAG requirements, making content easier to read for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size using browser settings without losing content or functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Structure: We use semantic HTML to provide a clear and consistent structure, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret and navigate our website.
• Form Labels: All form fields are clearly labeled, providing context and instructions for users filling out forms.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content includes captions and transcripts to make it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the user experience for screen reader users.
