Accessibility Statement for Spotlight Studios

Spotlight Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and strive to adhere to the highest accessibility standards. This statement outlines our ongoing efforts to provide an inclusive online environment.

Our Commitment

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services online. To uphold this principle, we are dedicated to making our website as accessible as possible to people with disabilities. Our goal is to provide a website that is easy to use, regardless of assistive technology.

Conformance Status

Spotlight Studios aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. We are committed to regularly reviewing and testing our website to ensure ongoing compliance with these standards.

Accessibility Features

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

Alternative Text: We provide meaningful alternative text for all images and non-text elements to ensure that users who are visually impaired can understand the content. For example, the logo in the header has an alt text describing "Spotlight Studios Logo." The images of the studios on the homepage have alt text describing their key features like "Bright and airy studio space with natural light."
Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have implemented a clear and consistent navigation structure to help users easily find the information they need.
Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision.
Resizable Text: Users can resize the text on our website using their browser settings to improve readability.
Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions to help users understand how to complete them.
Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to main content" link is provided to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and go directly to the main content of the page.
Dark Theme Option: A dark theme option is available to reduce eye strain, especially in low-light environments. This can be toggled using the "Dark Theme" button in the header.
Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret and present the information.
ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information about interactive elements and improve accessibility for users of screen readers.
Responsive Design: Our website is fully responsive, ensuring that it adapts to different screen sizes and devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktops.
Descriptive Link Text: All links have descriptive text that clearly indicates their destination, making it easier for users to understand where they will be taken when they click on a link.

We also ensure that our tables include proper captions and scope attributes for improved accessibility. For example, on the Pricing page, the pricing table includes a caption describing the table's purpose and scope attributes for the table headers.

Here's an example of how we ensure accessibility in our table structure:

Example Table for Accessibility
Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
Data 1	Data 2	Data 3
Data 4	Data 5	Data 6
