Accessibility Statement for SceneScout

SceneScout is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and strive to apply the relevant accessibility standards. We believe our website should be accessible and usable to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Statement of Commitment

SceneScout is dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many available standards and guidelines. We aim to comply with Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for all people.

We are committed to regularly reviewing and updating our website to ensure it remains accessible. This includes testing our website with assistive technologies and incorporating feedback from users with disabilities.

Assistive Technologies

We have designed our website to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition software. We have tested our website with the following assistive technologies:

We recommend using the latest versions of these assistive technologies for the best experience.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. You can use the Tab key to move between interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields. Use Shift+Tab to move backwards. We have also implemented skip links to allow users to bypass repetitive content and jump directly to the main content of each page.

The main navigation menu can be accessed using the keyboard, and all links are clearly labeled. Form fields are also designed to be easily navigable using the keyboard, with clear labels and instructions.

Text Size

You can adjust the text size on our website using your browser's built-in zoom functionality. To increase the text size, press Ctrl + "+" (or Cmd + "+" on a Mac). To decrease the text size, press Ctrl + "-" (or Cmd + "-" on a Mac). To reset the text size to its default, press Ctrl + "0" (or Cmd + "0" on a Mac).

We have also used relative font sizes throughout our website to ensure that text scales appropriately when the text size is adjusted.

Color Contrast

We have carefully selected the colors used on our website to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. We have tested our website using automated tools to verify that it meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast requirements.

Users can also use browser extensions or operating system settings to adjust the color contrast on our website to meet their individual needs. For example, users can use the "High Contrast" mode in Windows or the "Increase Contrast" setting in macOS.

Our dark mode option also provides an alternative color scheme with increased contrast for users who prefer it.
