Storage Alperton Accessibility Statement
Storage Alperton is committed to providing an accessible experience for all customers and visitors, including disabled people, older people, and those using assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to make our website and services more accessible and easier to use for everyone in the Alperton area and beyond.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We aim to align our website and digital content with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more user friendly for people with a wide range of access needs, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website, content, and customer journeys to identify barriers and make improvements where possible, so that accessing storage in the Alperton area is as straightforward and inclusive as we can make it.
Conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA
Our goal is to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria across our key pages and core booking and enquiry journeys. This includes ensuring sufficient colour contrast, providing alternative text for key images, maintaining clear headings and consistent navigation, and offering content that is understandable and predictable.
While we strive to achieve and maintain this level of conformance, there may be some areas that are not yet fully compliant. When we identify issues, we prioritise fixes based on their impact on accessibility and on how frequently the affected content is used.
Screen Reader Support
The Storage Alperton website is designed to be compatible with modern screen readers and other assistive technologies. We use semantic HTML wherever possible to help ensure that page structure, headings, lists, and forms can be interpreted correctly by screen readers.
We aim to provide meaningful alternative text for informative images and to avoid using images of text wherever practicable. Forms and interactive elements are labelled to help users understand their purpose and the information required.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is intended to be navigable using only a keyboard, without the need for a mouse or trackpad. Users should be able to move through links, buttons, and form fields using standard keyboard controls such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and Space keys.
We work to ensure that the focus order is logical and that a visible focus indicator is present, so keyboard users can clearly see which element is currently selected. We avoid using keyboard traps that would prevent users from moving away from an element.
Content Clarity and Readability
Content on the Storage Alperton website is written in plain and straightforward language wherever possible. We structure information with clear headings and short paragraphs, aiming to make content easy to scan and understand for users with different reading abilities.
We also aim to ensure that important information about our Alperton storage services, such as access, opening times, and facility features, is presented clearly and consistently across the site.
Ongoing Improvements
We understand that technology and best practice standards evolve over time. We review feedback from users, team members, and accessibility specialists to identify areas where we can improve. Our intention is to make accessible storage information and services in Alperton a core part of how we operate, rather than a one off project.
