Accessibility Statement for Stellar Studios
At Stellar Studios, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continually strive to improve the user experience for all visitors and viewers, applying relevant accessibility standards. We believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should be able to access and enjoy our content.
This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to enhance the accessibility of our website and digital content. We are dedicated to providing a website that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, adhering to the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Our Accessibility Initiatives
To meet our commitment to accessibility, we have implemented several key initiatives:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, ensuring that screen readers and other assistive technologies can accurately interpret the page's structure.
- Alternative Text for Images: All images have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that accurately conveys the content and function of the image to users who cannot see them.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
- Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
- Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields are clearly labeled, and instructions are provided to help users understand how to complete the forms correctly.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content includes captions and transcripts, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and complex user interface components.

We have taken deliberate steps to ensure that Stellar Studios’ website is accessible to the widest possible audience. Here are some specific features we’ve implemented:

- Focus Indicators: Clear focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements, allowing keyboard users to easily see which element is currently selected.
- Skip Navigation Link: A skip navigation link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the main navigation and jump directly to the main content.
- Descriptive Link Text: All links have descriptive text that clearly indicates the destination of the link.
- Accessible Forms: Our forms are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities, including those who use screen readers or keyboard navigation.
