Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Luminous Lens Studio, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online experience that allows all users to easily navigate, understand, and interact with our content.
This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to improve the accessibility of our website and provides information on the features we have implemented to enhance usability for all users.
Accessibility Standards
We are continuously working to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines define best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Our website is designed to be:
-
Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
-
Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
-
Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
-
Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following features to enhance the accessibility of our website:
-
Keyboard Navigation:
Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
-
Screen Reader Compatibility:
We have optimized our website to be compatible with screen readers, ensuring that users with visual impairments can access and understand our content. We use semantic HTML and provide alternative text for all images.
-
Color Contrast:
We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read our content.
-
Alternative Text for Images:
All images on our website include descriptive alternative text, providing users with visual impairments with a clear understanding of the image content. For example, an image of a wedding couple in Gasworks Park has the alt text "Wedding couple smiling and embracing in Gasworks Park, Seattle, with Lake Union in the background.". Another example, an image of a photographer taking a portrait, the alt text is "Professional photographer, Evelyn Reed, capturing a portrait in her Seattle studio with natural lighting and modern equipment".
