Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Luminance Studios, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

While we consistently work to improve accessibility, we recognize that some older content may not fully meet current standards. We are actively working to remediate these issues.

Here's a list of some potential areas of improvement:

• Dynamic Content Updates: Some dynamically updated sections may not immediately announce changes to screen readers. We are exploring ARIA live regions to improve this.
• Complex Table Structures: Very complex tables might lack proper header scoping, making navigation difficult for screen reader users. We are simplifying complex tables or providing alternative data presentations.
• PDF Documents: Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to create accessible versions of all key documents.

Third-Party Content

Please note that while we strive for full accessibility, our website may contain content provided by third parties. We do not have direct control over the accessibility of this content, but we encourage our partners to adhere to accessibility best practices.

Using Assistive Technology

If you are using assistive technology, such as a screen reader, the following tips may help you navigate our website more effectively:

• Use headings: Use headings to navigate the page and understand the content structure.
• Use landmarks: Use ARIA landmarks, such as <nav>, <main>, <aside>, and <footer>, to jump to key sections of the page.
• Use skip links: Use the skip links at the top of the page to bypass repetitive navigation menus.
• Customize text size: Use your browser settings to increase or decrease the text size.
• Use keyboard navigation: Use the Tab key to move between interactive elements, and use the Arrow keys to navigate within menus and lists.

Examples of Our Accessibility Efforts

Here are some specific examples of how we have incorporated accessibility into our website:

• Descriptive Alt Text: All images have descriptive alt text, providing a meaningful description for screen reader users. For example, an image of a wedding photograph includes the alt text: "Bride and groom exchanging vows at a Chicago wedding ceremony, captured by Luminance Studios."
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements, such as <header>, <nav>, <main>, <article>, <aside>, and <footer>, to structure our content logically. This helps screen reader users understand the page layout and navigate the content more easily.
• Accessible Forms: All form fields are properly labeled, and ARIA attributes are used to provide additional context and instructions for screen reader users. Required fields are clearly marked, and error messages are displayed in an accessible manner.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, ensuring that the content is readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
