Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Aetherium Games, we believe that everyone should have equal access to information and digital content. We are dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Accessibility Standards Compliance

Aetherium Games strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA is an ongoing effort, and we are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website. Here's a summary of how we strive to meet WCAG guidelines:

• Perceivable: We provide text alternatives for non-text content, captions and other alternatives for multimedia, and ensure that content is adaptable and distinguishable.
• Operable: We make sure all functionality is available from a keyboard, give users enough time to read and use content, and avoid content that causes seizures.
• Understandable: We make text readable and understandable, ensure content appears and operates in predictable ways, and help users avoid and correct mistakes.
• Robust: We aim to maximize compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies.

Specific Accessibility Features Implemented

To further enhance the accessibility of our website, we have implemented the following features:

• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text to provide context for users who cannot see them.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have designed our navigation to be clear, consistent, and easy to use, ensuring that users can easily find the information they need.
• Adjustable Text Size: Users can adjust the text size on our website to suit their individual needs using their browser settings.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision.
• Forms with Clear Labels: All forms on our website have clear and descriptive labels to help users understand the purpose of each field.
• Skip Navigation Link: A "skip to main content" link is provided to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and jump directly to the main content of each page.
• Descriptive Link Text: Link text is descriptive and provides users with clear information about the destination of the link.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret.
