Our Commitment
StreamVerse strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline four main principles that ensure content is:
- 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 the 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.
Accessibility Features Implemented
To meet our accessibility goals, we have implemented the following features on StreamVerse:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, ensuring that it is easily understandable by assistive technologies such as screen readers.
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our site have descriptive alternative text (alt tags) that provide context for users who cannot see them. For instance, an image of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in their meth lab from Breaking Bad is described as "Still from Breaking Bad, featuring Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in their meth lab."
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read our content. We adhere to WCAG contrast ratio guidelines.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily adjust the text size on our website using browser settings, without losing content or functionality.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have designed our navigation to be clear, consistent, and easy to understand, allowing users to find the information they need quickly.
- Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions, making it easier for users to understand what information is required.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of complex user interface components, providing additional information to assistive technologies.
- Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive and adapt to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring a consistent experience for all users.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: Where applicable, videos on StreamVerse include captions and transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
