Accessibility Statement for Luminance Studios

Luminance Studios is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards to provide a website that is inclusive and accessible.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a set of guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. These guidelines outline four main principles that state that content should be:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

By adhering to these principles, we aim to make our website and services accessible to a broad audience, including users with visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and other impairments.

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

• Regularly evaluating our website against accessibility guidelines using automated tools and manual testing.

• Making sure our website is navigable using keyboard-only access.
