Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Aurora Visuals, we believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and digital resources.

• WCAG 2.1 Level AA: We are working towards full conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and advanced user interface elements.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content in a meaningful and accessible way. This helps assistive technologies understand and interpret the content correctly.

• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
