Accessibility Statement for Stellaris Solutions

At Stellaris Solutions, located in Mountain View, California, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a website that is designed, developed, and maintained in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Our Accessibility Efforts

Stellaris Solutions is continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to information. We are making progress towards complying with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps to make the web more user-friendly for all people.

To ensure accessibility, we have implemented the following features:

• Semantic HTML: Using appropriate HTML5 elements to structure content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate.
• Alternative Text for Images: Providing descriptive alternative text (alt text) for all images and non-text content, ensuring screen reader users can understand the purpose of the images.
• Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring that all interactive elements can be accessed and operated using a keyboard alone.
• Color Contrast: Maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Providing a clear and consistent navigation structure to help users easily find the information they need.
• Resizable Text: Allowing users to increase or decrease the text size without loss of content or functionality.
• Form Accessibility: Ensuring that all form elements are properly labeled and accessible to screen readers.
• ARIA Attributes: Using ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: Providing captions and transcripts for all video content, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Specific Accessibility Features on This Website

We have incorporated several features to enhance the accessibility of our website:

• Skip to Content Link: A skip link is provided at the top of each page to allow users to bypass the main navigation and jump directly to the main content.
• ARIA Landmarks: ARIA landmarks are used to define the different sections of the page, such as the header, navigation, main content, and footer. This helps screen reader users quickly navigate to specific sections.
• Focus Indicators: Clear focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements, making it easier for keyboard users to see which element is currently selected.
• Descriptive Link Text: Link text is descriptive and provides users with a clear understanding of the destination of the link.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that the content is accessible and usable on desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
• Dark Theme: A dark theme option is available to reduce eye strain and improve readability for users who are sensitive to bright light. The dark theme can be toggled using the button at the bottom right of the page.
