We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other applicable accessibility standards.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services on our website. As such, Reel Scout strives to:
- Provide alternative text for all meaningful images and non-text content.
- Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background.
- Use a clear and consistent website structure, including headings, lists, and links.
- Make our website navigable using a keyboard.
- Ensure our website is compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
- Provide transcripts or captions for video and audio content.
- Regularly review and test our website for accessibility issues.
Accessibility Features Implemented
Semantic HTML
We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content logically and provide clear meaning to assistive
technologies. This includes the use of <header>, <nav>,
<main>, <article>, <aside>, and
<footer> elements.
Alternative Text for Images
All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) that accurately conveys the content and function of the image. For example:
<img src="" alt="Panoramic view of San Francisco's skyline at dusk"><img src="" alt="Lush green rice terraces in Ubud, Bali during the rainy season">
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can tab through interactive elements and use arrow keys to navigate within menus and other components.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color palettes to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. Our design meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements, making our content easier to read for individuals with low vision.
Clear and Consistent Navigation
Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need. We use a logical hierarchy of headings and subheadings to organize content and provide a clear outline of each page.
Forms Accessibility
All forms on our website are designed with accessibility in mind. We use clear labels, provide instructions and error messages, and ensure that all form fields are keyboard accessible. Each form field has a properly associated label, such as:
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name">Skip Navigation Link
We provide a "Skip to main content" link at the top of each page, allowing users of screen readers and keyboard-only users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and jump directly to the main content.
Resizable Text
Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. Our design is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes and text sizes without loss of content or functionality.
Tables
Data tables are structured using semantic HTML with appropriate headers (<th>) and table
captions (<caption>) to provide context and meaning to screen reader users. Each
<th> element includes a scope attribute to define whether it applies to a
row or a column.
| Location | Description | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| San Francisco, CA | Iconic cityscapes and diverse architecture. | Urban dramas and action sequences. |
| Ubud, Bali | Exotic landscapes and serene rice terraces. | Spiritual journeys and nature documentaries. |
