Accessibility Statement

CineScapes Locations is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website to provide a seamless and inclusive experience for everyone. Our efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, levels A and AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments.

We strive to adhere to these guidelines through various measures, including:

Providing alternative text for all images and non-text content. This allows screen readers to convey the meaning of visual elements to users who cannot see them.
Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background colors. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read and understand the content. We use tools like the WebAIM Color Contrast Checker to verify that our color combinations meet WCAG standards.
Structuring our website content with semantic HTML elements, such as headings, lists, and paragraphs. This makes it easier for screen readers to navigate and understand the content's organization.
Making our website fully navigable using a keyboard. This ensures that users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device can still access all of the website's features and content.
Providing clear and consistent navigation throughout the website. This helps users to easily find the information they are looking for.
Using ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of interactive elements, such as menus, forms, and buttons. ARIA attributes provide additional information to assistive technologies about the role, state, and properties of these elements.
Designing our website with a responsive layout that adapts to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that the website is accessible on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Offering a dark theme option for users who prefer a high-contrast viewing experience. This can be helpful for users with light sensitivity or visual impairments.
Regularly testing our website for accessibility using automated tools and manual testing methods. We also seek feedback from users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement.

Our commitment to accessibility is ongoing, and we are constantly learning and adapting our practices to meet the evolving needs of our users. We understand that accessibility is a journey, not a destination, and we are dedicated to making continuous improvements to our website.

If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using our website, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at (323) 555-FILM (3456). We appreciate your feedback and will make every effort to address your concerns and improve the accessibility of our website.

Keyboard Navigation Guide

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device to access all of its features and content. Here's a guide to the keyboard navigation options available on our website:

Keyboard Navigation
Key	Function
Tab	Moves focus to the next interactive element (e.g., links, buttons, form fields).
Shift + Tab	Moves focus to the previous interactive element.
Enter	Activates the focused link or button.
Spacebar	Activates the focused button or checks/unchecks a focused checkbox.
Arrow Keys	Scrolls the page up, down, left, or right. Navigates within menus and other components.
Home	Scrolls to the top of the page.
End	Scrolls to the bottom of the page.
Esc	Closes open menus, dialogs, or pop-up windows.

In addition to these standard keyboard navigation options, we have also implemented the following features to enhance keyboard accessibility:

A skip link that allows users to bypass the main navigation and jump directly to the main content of the page. This is especially helpful for users who use screen readers or keyboard navigation.
Focus indicators that clearly highlight the currently focused element. This helps users to easily see where they are on the page and what element they are interacting with.
Logical tab order that ensures that elements are focused in a predictable and intuitive order.

If you encounter any issues with keyboard navigation on our website, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at (323) 555-FILM (3456). We are committed to providing a fully accessible website for all users.

Color Contrast Information

We are committed to ensuring that our website provides sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read and understand the content.

We use the WebAIM Color Contrast Checker to verify that our color combinations meet the minimum contrast ratio requirements. The minimum contrast ratio for Level AA compliance is 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt or 14pt bold) and graphical elements.

Here are some examples of the color combinations used on our website:

Primary Color (#e4d96f) on White (#ffffff): Contrast ratio is 1.26:1 (Does not meet WCAG AA standards)
Secondary Color (#2c3e50) on White (#ffffff): Contrast ratio is 9.59:1 (Meets WCAG AA standards)
Text Color Dark (#343a40) on White (#ffffff): Contrast ratio is 8.63:1 (Meets WCAG AA standards)
Text Color Light (#f8f9fa) on Secondary Color (#2c3e50): Contrast ratio is 4.99:1 (Meets WCAG AA standards)

We are aware that some color combinations, such as the primary color on white, do not meet WCAG AA standards. We are actively working to improve the color contrast on our website to ensure that all content is accessible to all users. We are considering options such as adjusting the primary color or using a different background color in certain areas of the website.

In addition to meeting minimum contrast ratio requirements, we also avoid using color alone to convey information. For example, we use text labels and icons in addition to color to indicate the status of form fields.

If you have difficulty reading content on our website due to color contrast issues, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at (323) 555-FILM (3456). We appreciate your feedback and will make every effort to address your concerns.

We also offer a dark theme option that provides a high-contrast viewing experience. You can toggle the dark theme on or off using the theme toggle button located in the header.
