Accessibility Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2024

At Starside Media, we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We actively work to ensure that our website adheres to best practices and standards as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We believe that every user should have equal access to the content and features on our website. This includes designing and developing with accessibility in mind, such as:

  • Providing text alternatives for non-text content so it can be converted into other forms, such as large print, braille, speech, or symbols.
  • Ensuring that our website’s content is readable and understandable by people with disabilities, including those using screen readers.
  • Making the website navigable by keyboard, and ensuring compatibility with other assistive technologies.
  • Adapting content to be presented in different ways without losing information or structure.
  • Ensuring the site is robust and compatible with current and future assistive technologies.

Accessibility Standards

Starside Media follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Levels A and AA, to ensure our website is accessible to everyone. We continually work to improve and maintain these standards.

Ongoing Accessibility Efforts

We regularly evaluate our website’s accessibility through audits, user testing, and developer collaboration to ensure our site meets the latest accessibility standards. This includes:

  • Conducting regular audits to monitor and address any potential accessibility issues.
  • Utilizing automated and manual testing tools to ensure accessibility for users with disabilities.
  • Training our web development team on accessibility best practices.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure that all content on our website is accessible, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content. We encourage users to reach out directly to third parties if they encounter accessibility barriers with their content.
