Accessibility Statement for Starlight Anomalies Research Institute

Starlight Anomalies Research Institute is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Commitment to Accessibility

We firmly believe that the internet should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. Our commitment is to provide a website that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, adhering to the principles of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Starlight Anomalies Research Institute takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

• Integrating accessibility considerations throughout our design and development processes.
• Employing accessibility testing and validation tools regularly.
• Providing alternative text for all meaningful images and non-text content.
• Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
• Using semantic HTML to structure content for screen reader compatibility.
• Offering keyboard navigation support.
• Maintaining a clear and consistent website layout.
• Providing transcripts and captions for multimedia content where possible.
• Educating our staff on accessibility best practices.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Starlight Anomalies Research Institute is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We are actively working to address any remaining accessibility issues and bring the entire site into full conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This is an ongoing process and we appreciate your patience as we work towards this goal. We use automated testing tools and manual audits to identify and remediate accessibility barriers.
