Accessibility at Echo Bloom Studios

Committed to providing an inclusive experience for all visitors.

Accessibility Statement

Echo Bloom Studios 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 aim is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.

To ensure accessibility, we have implemented various measures throughout our website. These measures include:

  • Providing alternative text for images and other non-text content.
  • Using semantic HTML to structure content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand.
  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
  • Making sure all functionality is available via keyboard.
  • Providing clear and consistent navigation.
  • Using ARIA attributes to enhance accessibility for dynamic content.

Echo Bloom Studios recognizes that accessibility is an ongoing effort. We are committed to regularly reviewing and improving our website to ensure it remains accessible to everyone. We conduct periodic audits of our site using both automated and manual testing methods. We also value feedback from our users, and we encourage you to contact us if you encounter any accessibility barriers on our website.

This accessibility statement applies to the Echo Bloom Studios website located at www.echobloomstudios.com. Third-party content or websites linked from our site may not adhere to the same accessibility standards. We are not responsible for the accessibility of external websites.

We believe that a website should be accessible to everyone, and we are dedicated to making that a reality at Echo Bloom Studios. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to improve our website's accessibility.

Accessibility Features Implemented

The following features have been implemented to enhance the accessibility of the Echo Bloom Studios website:

  • Alternative Text: All images and non-text content include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that provides context for users who are unable to see the images. This ensures that screen readers can accurately convey the content to visually impaired users.
  • Keyboard Navigation: The entire website can be navigated using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements and content using the tab key, arrow keys, and enter key. This allows individuals with motor impairments or those who prefer keyboard navigation to easily browse the site.
  • Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure the content on our website. This includes using appropriate headings (<h1> to <h6>), paragraphs (<p>), lists (<ul>, <ol>, <li>), and other semantic elements to define the meaning and structure of the content. This helps assistive technologies understand the content and present it in a meaningful way to users.
  • Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors throughout the website. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read and understand the content. We regularly check the color contrast using accessibility tools to ensure it meets WCAG guidelines.
  • Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. This allows individuals with low vision to increase the text size to a comfortable reading level without affecting the layout or functionality of the site.
  • Clear and Consistent Navigation: The website navigation is clear, consistent, and easy to use. We have implemented a consistent menu structure and navigation links throughout the site, allowing users to easily find the information they are looking for.
  • ARIA Attributes: We have used ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements. ARIA attributes provide additional information about the role, state, and properties of elements, allowing assistive technologies to better understand and interact with the content.
  • Skip to Content Link: A "Skip to Content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and jump directly to the main content of the page. This is particularly helpful for users who use screen readers or keyboard navigation.
  • Form Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities. We provide clear labels for each form field, use appropriate input types, and provide error messages to guide users in completing the forms correctly.
  • Video Accessibility: We are working to provide captions and transcripts for all video content on our website. This will allow users who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the information presented in the videos.
  • Responsive Design: The website is designed to be responsive, meaning it adapts to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that the content is accessible and easy to use on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website and welcome feedback from our users. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us using the contact information provided below.
