Our Commitment

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many available standards and guidelines.

Conformance Status

The StudioLens NYC website strives 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 to make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

Measures to Support Accessibility

StudioLens NYC takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of the StudioLens NYC website:

Specific Accessibility Features Implemented

Semantic HTML

We use semantic HTML to structure our content, which helps screen readers and other assistive technologies understand the context and meaning of our web pages. This includes using appropriate heading levels ( h1 to h6 ), lists ( ul and ol ), and paragraph ( p ) tags.

Alternative Text for Images

All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that accurately describes the content of the image. This allows users who are unable to see the images to understand their purpose and context. For example, an image of a photography studio with lighting equipment has the alt text "Various photography studio setups including backdrops and lighting equipment."

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can easily move between links, form elements, and other interactive components using the Tab key. Focus indicators are clearly visible to show users where they are on the page.

Color Contrast

We have carefully chosen color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background colors. This ensures that users with low vision can easily read the content on our website. We use tools to verify color contrast ratios and ensure they meet WCAG guidelines.

Resizable Text

Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser's built-in zoom functionality. This allows users with low vision to customize the text size to their individual needs.

Form Accessibility

All forms on our website are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities. Form elements are properly labeled, and instructions are clear and concise. We also provide error messages that are easy to understand and that help users correct their mistakes.

Video Captions and Transcripts

All videos on our website include captions or transcripts, which allow users who are deaf or hard of hearing to understand the content of the video. Captions are synchronized with the audio and provide a text-based representation of the spoken words and sound effects.

Aria Attributes

We strategically use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and complex user interface elements. These attributes provide additional information to assistive technologies, helping them to better understand and interact with our website. For instance, we use aria-label to provide descriptive labels for buttons and links, and aria-describedby to associate form elements with their descriptions.

Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. We regularly review our website and test it with assistive technologies to identify and address any accessibility issues. We also stay up-to-date on the latest accessibility standards and best practices.
