Accessibility Statement for CineMastery Institute

CineMastery Institute is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors, and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users, including people with disabilities.

Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA, as well as complying with applicable accessibility legislation, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These guidelines outline four main principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. By following these principles, we aim to make our website easier to navigate, understand, and use for people with a wide range of disabilities.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to enhance accessibility:

Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, which helps screen readers and other assistive technologies understand the context and purpose of each element.
Alternative Text: All images and non-text content have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the meaning and function of the content to users who cannot see it.
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 ensured sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website without losing content or functionality.
Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have designed our navigation to be clear, consistent, and easy to use, with logical information architecture and clear labeling.
Forms Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages.
Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions or transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, improving the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.

Specific Accessibility Measures Taken

In addition to the general accessibility features mentioned above, we have also taken the following specific measures:

Regularly audit our website for accessibility issues using automated testing tools and manual reviews.
Provide ongoing training to our staff on web accessibility best practices.
Incorporate accessibility considerations into our design and development processes.
Solicit feedback from users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement.
