Luminous Lens Studio is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to information and services.

This accessibility statement describes our commitment to accessibility and the measures we are taking to ensure our website meets the needs of all users.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
Luminous Lens Studio adheres to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a globally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Our website incorporates several features designed to enhance accessibility, including:
Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate.
Alternative Text: All images include descriptive alternative text (alt text) to provide context for users who cannot see them. For example, an image of a photographer taking a portrait will have alt text like "Photographer, David Miller, taking a portrait in Luminous Lens Studio."
Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users to access all content and features without a mouse.
Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
Resizable Text: Users can easily increase the text size on our website without losing content or functionality.
Clear and Consistent Navigation: We provide a clear and consistent navigation structure to help users easily find the information they need.
Form Accessibility: Our forms are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities, including proper labeling and error handling.
Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Focus Indicators: Clear and visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements to help keyboard users track their location on the page.
Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields are properly labeled, and clear instructions are provided to help users understand how to complete the forms correctly.
Error Messages: Informative and helpful error messages are displayed when users make mistakes in form submissions.
