Storage Maryland Accessibility Statement
Storage Maryland is committed to providing an accessible and user-friendly experience for all customers, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone should be able to research, compare, and reserve secure storage in the Maryland area without encountering digital barriers. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to support an accessible Storage Maryland experience and the standards that guide our ongoing improvements.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
Our goal is to ensure that people of all abilities can access key information about our storage units, locations, and services. We are working to align our website and digital content with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, specifically WCAG 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines help make web content more accessible for users with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor differences, and more usable for all visitors, including those using assistive technologies.
WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance Efforts
Storage Maryland strives to meet the success criteria of WCAG 2.1 AA throughout our primary pages, including those focused on storage unit details, pricing, and reservation information. Our efforts include using sufficient color contrast for text and essential graphics, providing clear headings and labels to support logical navigation, and presenting content in a consistent layout. We work to ensure that important information about our accessible storage options in the Maryland area can be understood and used without reliance on a single sense, such as sight or hearing.
Screen-Reader and Assistive Technology Support
Our website is developed with support for screen readers and other assistive technologies. We use semantic HTML where possible to help communicate structure, relationships, and meaning. This includes correctly ordered headings, descriptive alternative text for important images, and meaningful labels for form fields. These practices help people who rely on screen readers navigate pages, understand the content of images where necessary, and complete tasks related to storage reservations or account inquiries.
Keyboard Navigation and Focus Management
We aim to ensure that the Storage Maryland website is fully usable with a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or touch input. Users should be able to move logically through menus, forms, and interactive elements using standard keyboard commands such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, and Enter keys. Visible focus indicators help show which element is currently selected, supporting users who navigate by keyboard or other non-pointer devices. We regularly review interactive features, such as dropdown menus and form controls, to identify and correct any keyboard traps or barriers.
Ongoing Improvements and Testing
Accessibility is an ongoing process at Storage Maryland. We periodically review our site using both automated tools and manual checks to identify potential barriers. When we introduce new content, features, or updates, we consider accessibility at each stage of design and development. Where issues are found, we prioritize fixes that affect core tasks such as learning about storage unit sizes, understanding pricing, and starting a reservation request. We recognize that some legacy content may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA criteria, and we are actively working toward improved compliance over time.
Accessibility Feedback and Requests
We welcome feedback from customers, visitors, and accessibility advocates about how to improve the Storage Maryland experience. If you encounter any difficulty using our website, notice content that is hard to access, or need information presented in an alternative format, you can contact us through our standard customer service channels published on our contact page. When you reach out, please describe the page or feature where you experienced an issue and the type of assistive technology, browser, or device you were using, so we can better investigate and respond.
Storage Maryland takes accessibility concerns seriously and will review each request as quickly as reasonably possible. Our intention is to support an accessible Storage Maryland area for all users, and we appreciate your input in helping us identify opportunities for continued improvement.
