Accessibility Features
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. You can use the tab key to move between interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields. Use the enter key to activate links and buttons, and the arrow keys to navigate within certain elements, such as dropdown menus.
We have ensured that the focus indicator is always visible, so you can easily see which element is currently selected. This is especially helpful for users who rely on keyboard navigation.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We have optimized our website to be compatible with screen reader software, such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We have provided alternative text for all images, and we have used semantic HTML markup to ensure that the content is structured logically and can be easily understood by screen readers.
We regularly test our website with screen readers to identify and fix any accessibility issues.
Color Contrast
We understand the importance of color contrast for users with visual impairments. We have carefully selected our color palette to ensure that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors. This makes it easier for users to read the content on our website.
You can also use the dark theme toggle to switch to a high-contrast color scheme.
Alternative Text for Images
All images on our website have alternative text descriptions. These descriptions provide context and information about the image for users who cannot see it. We strive to make our alternative text descriptions as accurate and informative as possible.
For example, the CineVerse logo has the alt text "CineVerse Logo - Your Universe of TV Entertainment".
Clear and Simple Language
We use clear and simple language throughout our website to make it easy to understand for all users. We avoid jargon and technical terms whenever possible. We also use headings and subheadings to break up the content and make it easier to scan.
Adjustable Text Size
Users can adjust the text size on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with visual impairments to increase the text size to a comfortable level.
To increase text size, use the following keyboard shortcuts:
- Windows: Ctrl + "+"
- Mac: Command + "+"
To decrease text size, use the following keyboard shortcuts:
- Windows: Ctrl + "-"
- Mac: Command + "-"
