Accessibility Statement for Apex Visuals
At Apex Visuals, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continuously strive to improve the user experience for all visitors, applying relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is usable by people of all abilities. Our aim is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as well as complying with the applicable standards of Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act.
Our Commitment
We firmly believe that everyone deserves access to information and services online. To uphold this commitment, we have taken the following steps:
- Incorporated accessibility considerations into our website design and development process.
- Regularly audit our website and content using both automated and manual testing methods.
- Provide ongoing training to our staff on accessibility best practices.
- Solicit feedback from users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement.
Conformance Status
The Apex Visuals 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.
Specific Accessibility Measures
To ensure our website is as accessible as possible, we have implemented the following measures:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, providing clear meaning and context for assistive technologies.
- Alternative Text: All images have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that accurately describes the image content for users who are unable to see them.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, ensuring users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content and functionality.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully chosen color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize text using their browser settings without losing 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.
- Forms Accessibility: All forms are designed with proper labels and instructions, making them easier for users with disabilities to fill out.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website have captions and transcripts available, providing alternative ways for users to access the video content.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where necessary to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and complex user interface elements.
