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 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.
| Conformance Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Level A | The most basic level of accessibility, addressing fundamental barriers for users with disabilities. |
| Level AA | Addresses a wider range of accessibility issues, providing a more robust and usable experience. This is the target level for many organizations. |
| Level AAA | The highest level of accessibility, addressing the most complex and nuanced barriers. While desirable, achieving Level AAA conformance is not always feasible for all content. |
