Web Accessibility

Pixel Directive, LLC is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • Descriptive Alt Text: All meaningful images, including character art and professional headshots, include descriptive alternative text to provide context for screen reader users.
  • Functional Icon Labeling: Navigation and contact icons are labeled by their function (e.g., “Email Us”) rather than just their visual appearance.
  • High Contrast Visuals: We utilize a high-contrast color palette, such as our dark-themed hero sections and bright accent colors, to ensure text is readable for users with low vision.
  • Consistent Structure: We use a clear hierarchy of headings and organized layouts to ensure the site is easy to navigate via keyboard or assistive technology.
  • Readability: Our content is written to be concise and scannable, keeping with Flesch-Kincaid readability standards for a broad audience.

Where We’re Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

  • Keyboard Navigation Focus: We are refining the “focus state” indicators to ensure keyboard-only users can clearly see which element they are interacting with at all times.
  • Aria-Label Optimization: We are reviewing all interactive elements to ensure that ARIA labels are present and provide clear instructions for screen readers.
  • Third-Party Embeds: We are working to ensure that any external plug-ins or social media feeds integrated into our site meet our accessibility benchmarks.

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at Pixel Directive, LLC a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
