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. Harmonic Haven Studios 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 achieve full conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Our efforts include:

• Ensuring proper semantic HTML structure is used for all content.
• Providing alternative text for all images.
• Maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background.
• Making our website navigable using only a keyboard.
• Providing transcripts or captions for audio and video content (where applicable).
• Ensuring that all interactive elements are accessible to assistive technologies.

We are committed to regularly auditing our website and implementing necessary improvements to maintain and enhance its accessibility.

• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings without loss of content or functionality.
