Keyboard Navigation Details
Navigating our website using a keyboard is straightforward. The primary method is using the Tab key to move focus to the next interactive element and Shift+Tab to move focus to the previous interactive element. Once an element has focus, you can use the Enter key to activate links and buttons. Arrow keys are used to navigate within certain elements, such as dropdown menus.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen reader software such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We use semantic HTML to structure our content, providing a logical reading order for screen reader users. All images include descriptive alternative text to convey their meaning and context. ARIA attributes are used to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
Color Contrast Information
Ensuring sufficient color contrast is vital for users with low vision or color blindness. We have carefully selected color combinations throughout our website to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards for color contrast. The contrast ratio between text and background colors is at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
Accessibility 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. Stellaris Studios 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.
