DeepSound Audio wants this website to be usable by everyone who visits it, including people who navigate with a keyboard, a screen reader or a magnifier. This statement describes what the site does today and how the studio handles anything that falls short.
How the site is built
The pages use plain, well-formed markup with a single heading structure, so a screen reader can move from heading to heading and understand the order of the content. Text is sized in a way that survives browser zoom, and the layout reflows into a single column on small screens instead of forcing sideways scrolling.
Navigation
The menu is a calendar-style strip of seven sections. Each section is reachable by keyboard, each opens without a mouse, and the section that belongs to the page you are reading is marked for assistive technology so its position is announced. On narrow screens the same sections stack into a vertical list, and every page is still reachable in one step.
Colour and contrast
The palette was chosen so that body text sits well above the minimum contrast ratio against its background. Colour is never the only signal: the current section in the menu is marked both visually and in the markup, and links are distinguishable from surrounding text without relying on hue alone.
Images and meaning
Every photograph on this site carries a written description so that the meaning of the picture is available to someone who cannot see it. Decorative marks are hidden from assistive technology rather than announced as noise.
Forms
The project brief form labels every field directly and keeps the labels attached to their inputs, so an assistive device reads the question before the field. The form can be completed and submitted entirely by keyboard.
Motion and preference
The site avoids automatic motion, carousels and timed content. Nothing moves on its own, and nothing is placed behind a countdown. A visitor is never rushed.
Known limits
No website is perfect. Where a third-party environment or an older browser changes how a page renders, some features may behave unusually. If you meet a barrier, the studio would rather hear about it than leave it in place.
Telling the studio
Report an accessibility problem by email to [email protected] or by post to 88 Harborline Avenue, Suite 412, Boston, MA 02110. Please say which page and which part gave you trouble; the studio aims to reply with a fix or an alternative within a reasonable time.
This statement is reviewed as the site changes, and it is dated in the studio's archive whenever it is updated.
Feedback and response
Accessibility is a moving target, and the honest way to meet it is to keep listening. If a page is hard to read, a link is hard to reach, or a description does not convey what a picture shows, the studio wants to know. Reports are read by a person, not filed into a queue, and a reply says what will change and when.
Where a fix cannot be made immediately, we will offer an alternative: the content in another form, a different route to the same information, or a direct answer by email or phone. The aim is simple. Nobody should be unable to find out what this studio does because a page got in the way.
Typing and pointing alternatives
Every control on this site can be reached and used without a pointing device. The calendar menu is operated with the keyboard, the brief form is completed with the keyboard, and no interaction depends on a hover state that a touch visitor cannot produce. Focus is always visible, so a keyboard visitor can see where they are at every step.
We also avoid timed behaviour. Nothing on these pages expires, counts down or requires a quick response, which means a visitor who reads slowly or uses a magnifier is never pushed along by the page itself.
