Accessibility at Luminance Studios

Our Commitment to Inclusive Design

Accessibility Statement

Luminance Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continually improve the user experience for all visitors, applying relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to information. We believe everyone, regardless of their abilities, should be able to easily navigate and interact with our website, learning about our professional photography services in Miami, viewing our portfolio, and contacting us for their photography needs.

We are dedicated to making our website as accessible as possible, and we strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps to make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Luminance Studios takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

  • Accessibility training: We provide ongoing accessibility training for our web developers and content creators.
  • Inclusive design: We incorporate accessibility considerations into our design process from the outset.
  • Regular accessibility audits: We conduct regular audits of our website to identify and address accessibility issues.
  • Continuous monitoring: We continually monitor our website for new accessibility issues and implement fixes promptly.
  • Assistive technology compatibility: We ensure our website is compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition software.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented several features to enhance the accessibility of our website:

  • Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to provide a clear structure and meaning to our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret.
  • Alternative text: All images have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and function of the image to users who cannot see it. We carefully craft our alt text to be informative and concise, avoiding generic phrases like "image" or "photo".
  • Keyboard navigation: Our website can be fully navigated using a keyboard, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content and functionality.
  • Sufficient color contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make the content easily readable for users with low vision. We use a color contrast checker to verify that our color choices meet WCAG guidelines.
  • Resizable text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. This can be done through browser settings or using keyboard shortcuts.
  • Clear and consistent navigation: We have implemented a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they are looking for.
  • Form labels and instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions, making it easy for users to understand what information is required. We use ARIA attributes to provide additional context and guidance where necessary.
  • Skip navigation link: A "skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content.
  • ARIA attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and complex widgets.
  • Descriptive links: Link text clearly describes the destination of the link, avoiding ambiguous phrases like "click here."
  • Responsive design: Our website is designed to be responsive, meaning it adapts to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring a consistent experience for all users.
  • Dark Theme: A dark theme is available to provide a more comfortable viewing experience for users who are sensitive to bright light or prefer a darker color scheme. The theme can be toggled using the theme switcher button.
