To help us make the Aalto Studios website a positive place for everyone, we’ve been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for the Aalto Studios website.

Success criteria 2.2.2:

We will monitor user feedback on a number of small motion hints used in the layout and research browser preference detection to deactivate these features when so desired.
