Accessibility Statement
At Nova Digital Studio, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that all users should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Our efforts are ongoing as we continuously work to improve the accessibility of our website.
WCAG Compliance
We are committed to making our website compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This involves:
- Providing text alternatives for non-text content.
- Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
- Making all functionality available from a keyboard.
- Giving users enough time to read and use content.
- Designing content in a way that makes it easier to see and hear.
- Ensuring content is compatible with assistive technologies.
Use of ARIA Roles
We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and advanced user interface controls. ARIA roles provide semantic information to assistive technologies, such as screen readers, allowing users with disabilities to better understand and interact with our website.
Examples of ARIA roles we use include:
role="navigation": To identify navigation menus.role="main": To identify the main content area of a page.role="button": To identify interactive buttons.aria-label: Providing descriptive labels for elements, especially when the visual label is insufficient.
Accessibility Features
Our website includes the following accessibility features:
- Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all images and non-text content, allowing screen reader users to understand the content and purpose of these elements.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be fully navigated using a keyboard, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device can still access all content and functionality.
- Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background elements, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read and understand the content.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We provide clear and consistent navigation menus and site structure, helping users easily find the information they need.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. Most browsers offer zoom functionality that allows users to increase the text size as needed.
- Form Labels: All form fields are properly labeled, providing clear instructions and context for users filling out forms.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and interpret the information.
- Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to Content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content.
Supported Assistive Technologies
Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:
- Screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver
- Voice recognition software: Dragon NaturallySpeaking
- Keyboard-only navigation
Testing and Evaluation
We regularly test our website for accessibility using automated tools and manual testing methods. Our testing process includes:
- Automated scans using accessibility testing tools such as WAVE and Axe.
