Storage Cricklewood Website Accessibility Statement
Storage Cricklewood is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all customers and visitors, both online and at our storage facilities in the Cricklewood area. We aim to make it easy for everyone to find information, compare storage options, and manage bookings in a way that suits their needs. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we are taking to improve access and how you can contact us with any accessibility requests or feedback.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We are working towards aligning our website and digital content with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines are recognised as an international standard for making web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including users with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. Our goal is to provide an accessible Storage Cricklewood experience that is usable on a wide range of devices and assistive technologies.
Screen Reader Support
The Storage Cricklewood website is designed to work with popular screen reader software. We aim to use clear headings, descriptive page titles, and structured content so that visitors using screen readers can understand the layout of each page and move through sections logically. Where possible, images include descriptive alternative text so important information is available in audio or braille formats.
We also aim to ensure that form fields, buttons, and other interactive controls have meaningful labels and instructions so that they can be easily identified and used through assistive technologies. As we develop and update our website, we continue to review templates and components to improve compatibility with screen readers.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is being developed to support full keyboard navigation without the need for a mouse or touch screen. Users should be able to move through menus, links, form fields, and other interactive elements using the tab, shift plus tab, enter, and arrow keys. We aim to ensure a clear and visible focus indicator so users can always see which element is currently selected.
We also work to maintain a logical tab order, so that moving through the page with a keyboard follows the visual layout and does not skip essential content. If you experience any difficulty accessing information or completing a form using only a keyboard, we encourage you to contact us so we can investigate and address the issue.
Text, Colour and Layout
To support an accessible Storage Cricklewood user experience, we strive to use clear fonts, sufficient text size, and high colour contrast between text and backgrounds. This approach is intended to help users with low vision, colour vision deficiencies, or reading difficulties. We avoid relying on colour alone to convey meaning and work to maintain a clean, uncluttered layout so that information is easy to find and understand.
Where possible, pages are designed to reflow on smaller screens and when zoomed in, so that text remains readable without horizontal scrolling. Users are encouraged to adjust browser settings, such as text size and colour preferences, to meet their individual needs.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website, content, and booking tools to identify areas that can be improved for customers using assistive technologies or alternative input methods. As we add new features and update existing pages for Storage Cricklewood, accessibility is considered at each stage of planning, design, and development.
Although we aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, some older content or third party features may not yet fully comply. We are working to address these issues over time and welcome feedback that helps us prioritise improvements.
