Storage Barkingside Accessibility Statement
Storage Barkingside is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible self storage experience for all customers in the Barkingside area and beyond. This accessibility statement explains the steps we take to make our website and services easier to use for people with disabilities, and how you can contact us with any accessibility requests or feedback.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We aim to align our website and digital services with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines are recognised as an international standard for creating online content that is more accessible to a wider range of people, including users with visual, auditory, cognitive and motor impairments.
Our goal is that anyone looking for accessible storage in Barkingside can find, understand and use the information on our site without barriers. We are continually working to improve both the website and our on-site customer experience.
Measures We Take
To support accessibility for customers using Storage Barkingside, we take the following measures:
We review key pages regularly to identify issues that may affect customers relying on assistive technologies while searching for storage in the Barkingside area. We consider accessibility when designing new website features, updating content and planning future improvements.
WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance
We strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria across our main user journeys, including browsing storage unit options, checking availability and learning about our Barkingside facility. This includes aiming for sufficient colour contrast between text and background, ensuring text can be resized using browser controls and providing clear headings and content structure so that information about our storage services is easy to follow.
While we work towards full AA conformance for all content, there may be some older pages or documents that are not yet fully compliant. These are being reviewed and updated as part of our ongoing accessibility improvements.
Screen Reader Support
The Storage Barkingside website is designed to be compatible with common screen reader software. We use semantic HTML wherever possible, including headings, paragraphs and lists, to help screen readers convey the correct structure and meaning of our pages. Images that support understanding of our Barkingside storage services are given alternative text where appropriate.
We also aim to ensure that important information is presented as text rather than images of text, so that it can be read aloud, enlarged or adapted by assistive technology.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is built to be usable with a keyboard alone, without the need for a mouse. Users should be able to move through our pages, forms and menus using the Tab, Shift plus Tab and Enter keys. We work to maintain a logical tab order across pages so that customers exploring storage options in Barkingside can efficiently move through key sections.
We aim to provide a visible focus indicator for interactive elements such as links, buttons and form fields. This helps users who rely on keyboard navigation to understand where they are on the page at any time.
Compatible Browsers and Devices
The Storage Barkingside website is designed to work on modern browsers and devices. We test page layouts and interactions on commonly used desktop, tablet and mobile browsers to support customers researching accessible storage in the Barkingside area from different devices.
If you experience issues using a particular browser, device or assistive technology, please let us know so we can investigate and consider improvements.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We continue to review our website content, navigation and design to find ways to make it more inclusive for people with a wide range of needs. Whenever we introduce new features or update information about our Barkingside storage facility, we take accessibility into account during planning and development.
