Accessibility Statement for Acoustic Dimensions Recording Studio

Acoustic Dimensions Recording Studio is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Our Commitment

We believe that everyone deserves a positive online experience. To fulfill this commitment, Acoustic Dimensions Recording Studio strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

These guidelines outline four main principles, known as POUR:

• 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.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Acoustic Dimensions Recording Studio takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Include accessibility as part of our mission statement.
• Integrate accessibility into our design and development workflows.
• Provide accessibility training for our content authors and website developers.
• Regularly evaluate our website's accessibility through automated and manual testing.
• Use inclusive design principles throughout our development process.

Specifically, we have implemented the following:

• Semantic HTML5: Using semantic HTML tags to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand the content's hierarchy and purpose. For example, using <article>, <nav>, <aside>, and <footer> elements.
• ARIA Attributes: Implementing ARIA attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of interactive elements and dynamic content.
• Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring that all interactive elements are fully navigable using the keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all functionality.
• Alternative Text for Images: Providing descriptive alternative text for all images, so that users who cannot see the images can understand their content and purpose.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: Ensuring that all text has sufficient contrast against its background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
• Resizable Text: Allowing users to resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality, accommodating users with visual impairments.
• Form Accessibility: Making our forms accessible by providing clear labels, instructions, and error messages, ensuring that all users can complete them successfully.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: Providing captions and transcripts for all video content, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Acoustic Dimensions Recording Studio is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We are actively working to address these areas and achieve full conformance.
