E-DU Studio is committed to ensuring that our multimedia knowledge and storytelling platform is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive experience for our global gem, jewellery, and mineral community.
Accessibility Commitment
At E-DU Studio, we believe that stories from the gem, jewellery, and mineral community should be available to everyone, regardless of ability. We are committed to ensuring our website, videos, podcasts, and written content are accessible and inclusive for all visitors.
Our Approach to Accessibility
We are working towards meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards. These internationally recognized guidelines help make web content more usable for people with a wide range of abilities, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor challenges.
Our ongoing efforts include:
-
Website Design: Creating a site structure that is easy to navigate with clear headings, simple menus, and logical layouts.
-
Readability: Using high-contrast colors, legible fonts, and plain language wherever possible.
-
Multimedia: Providing captions and transcripts for podcasts and video interviews so visitors can follow content in different ways.
-
Keyboard & Screen Reader Access: Ensuring the site can be used without a mouse and is compatible with common assistive technologies.
-
Responsive Design: Making sure content is accessible across devices — desktop, mobile, and tablet.
-
Alternative Text: Adding descriptive alt text for images to assist users with screen readers.
-
Testing & Feedback: Reviewing our platform regularly to identify and resolve accessibility barriers.
Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is not a one-time task but a continuous journey. As we grow, we will keep learning, listening, and updating our practices to better serve our community.
If you encounter a barrier, have difficulty accessing content, or notice something that could be improved, please contact us. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us create a more inclusive space.
