Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Aurora Video Studio, we believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and digital experiences. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. This commitment aligns with our core values of inclusivity and customer satisfaction.
We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to all users. This includes individuals with disabilities such as visual impairments, hearing impairments, motor impairments, and cognitive disabilities. We are dedicated to following accessibility best practices and standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Our website strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA is our target accessibility standard.
WCAG covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. By following these guidelines, we are making our website more user-friendly for everyone.

We have implemented several features to enhance the accessibility of our website. These include:
- Alternative Text: We provide alternative text descriptions for all images and non-text content to allow screen readers to convey the meaning of the images to users with visual impairments.

- Clear and Consistent Structure: We use clear headings, lists, and other structural elements to organize content and make it easy to understand and navigate.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make the text readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
