We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to all of our users. Our goal is to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Our Commitment

We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and resources online. To that end, we are dedicated to providing a user-friendly and accessible experience for all visitors to our website. We understand that accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are committed to regularly reviewing and updating our website to meet or exceed accessibility standards.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following 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 understand and navigate.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images have descriptive alternative text to convey their meaning to users who cannot see them.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and features.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make the content readable for users with low vision.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings without loss of content or functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find what they are looking for.

Conformance Status

The Lights & Camera Academy website 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.

We are actively working to address any remaining accessibility issues and strive for full conformance in the near future. Our ongoing efforts include regular accessibility audits, user testing with assistive technologies, and continuous training for our web development team.

Specifically, we are addressing the following areas to improve accessibility:

• Ensuring all interactive elements are fully accessible via keyboard.
• Improving the color contrast of certain text elements.
• Providing more detailed descriptions for complex images.
• Ensuring all dynamic content is accessible to assistive technologies.

Known Issues

While we strive to make our website as accessible as possible, we are aware of the following potential issues:

• Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible.
• Certain third-party plugins may not be fully compliant with accessibility standards.

We are working to remediate these issues and provide alternative solutions where necessary.
