- Semantic HTML: Using proper HTML5 semantic elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret.
- Alternative Text: Providing descriptive alternative text for all images and non-text content, allowing screen readers to convey the content to visually impaired users.
- Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring that all website features and content are accessible using only a keyboard.

Third-Party Content
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or content. While we strive to ensure that all content is accessible, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content. We encourage you to review the accessibility statements of any third-party websites you visit.
Commitment to Inclusive Video Production
Beyond website accessibility, Stellar Vision Studios is deeply committed to creating accessible video content. We understand the importance of inclusivity in media and strive to make our videos enjoyable and understandable by everyone, regardless of their abilities.
- Captioning and Subtitling: All our video productions include accurate and synchronized captions and subtitles. This allows viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing to follow the dialogue and understand the context of the video.
- Audio Description: For viewers with visual impairments, we offer audio descriptions that narrate the visual elements of the video. This includes descriptions of on-screen actions, settings, and other important visual information that is not conveyed through dialogue.
- Clear Audio: We ensure our videos have clear and well-balanced audio, which is crucial for viewers with auditory processing issues or those who rely on hearing aids.
- Descriptive Visuals: When filming, we aim to capture scenes that are visually clear and descriptive, reducing ambiguity and making it easier for viewers to follow along.
- Sign Language Interpretation: In specific projects, we can provide sign language interpretation to make the video content more accessible to the deaf community.
