Website Accessibility Statement
Apex Locations International is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards. We believe our website should be available and accessible to people with disabilities.
Our Commitment
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as our accessibility standard. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for everyone.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following features to enhance the accessibility of our website:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, providing clear meaning and context for assistive technologies.
- Alternative Text: All images have descriptive alternative text (alt text) to convey their meaning to users who cannot see them.
-
Keyboard Navigation:
Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content and functionality.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read the content.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings, accommodating users with visual impairments.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.

- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
- Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content.
- Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring a consistent and accessible experience across all platforms.
Specific Accessibility Considerations for Location Scouting
Given our focus on location scouting for film and photography, we understand that some users may be looking for locations that are themselves accessible. While we cannot guarantee the accessibility of every location listed on our site, we are committed to providing as much information as possible to help users make informed decisions. This includes:
- Accessibility Information: Whenever possible, we include information about the accessibility of featured locations, such as wheelchair access, accessible restrooms, and other relevant features.
- Detailed Descriptions: Our location descriptions aim to provide a comprehensive overview of each location, including any potential accessibility barriers.
- Contact with Location Managers: We encourage users to contact us or the location managers directly to inquire about specific accessibility needs.
We are continuously working to improve the way we present accessibility information and welcome feedback from users on how we can make this process more effective.
