At Visionary Media Group, we believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities. As part of our commitment to inclusion, we are actively working to improve the accessibility of our website and digital content.

This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to provide a website that is usable and accessible to all, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a widely recognized international standard for web accessibility.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented several features to enhance the accessibility of our website:

• Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all relevant images and non-text content, ensuring that users who rely on screen readers can understand the content.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be navigable using only a keyboard, allowing users with motor impairments to access all content and functionality.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read the content.
• Clear and Consistent Structure: We use headings, lists, and other structural elements to organize content logically, making it easier for users to understand the relationships between different sections of the website.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily adjust the text size on our website using their browser settings, allowing them to customize the reading experience to their individual needs.
• Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions, making it easier for users to understand what information is required and how to provide it.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information about the roles, states, and properties of interactive elements, improving the accessibility for users who rely on assistive technologies.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions or transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
