Accessibility options on this site

Steps

1. Turn on reduced motion in your system settings

   Find the setting for your device and switch it on. The exact wording differs, but every one of these does the same job:

   • Windows 11: Settings → Accessibility → Visual effects → turn Animation effects off.
   • Windows 10: Settings → Ease of Access → Display → turn Show animations in Windows off.
   • macOS: System Settings → Accessibility → Display → turn Reduce motion on. On macOS 12 and earlier this is System Preferences → Accessibility → Display.
   • iOS and iPadOS: Settings → Accessibility → Motion → turn Reduce Motion on.
   • Android: Settings → Accessibility → Colour and motion → turn Remove animations on. Samsung devices list it under Accessibility → Visibility enhancements. Manufacturers rename this often, so if neither path matches, search your settings for “animation”.

2. Reload this page

   The site reads your preference as the page loads. Refresh once and the still version is what you get from then on, on every page of this site, on every visit, until you change the system setting back.

3. Check that it took

   Scroll down this page. If the text is already on screen rather than fading up into place as you reach it, the preference is being honoured. The full list of what changes is in the next section.

4. Tell us if something is still in your way

   Email info@apexhldg.com with the subject Website feedback. Accessibility problems are treated as faults, not suggestions. What to put in the message is in the box near the bottom of this guide.

What reduced motion changes

With the setting on, this site stops moving. Precisely:

• Parallax stops. Layers that drifted at different speeds as you scrolled sit still.
• Snowfall stops. The snow over the Arz Faraya ridge is never drawn.
• Orbits hold still. On the home page the four worlds circling the Apex mark come to rest in place. They stay fully visible, labelled, and clickable — the constellation becomes a diagram rather than an animation.
• Scroll-scrub sequences become plain sections. Anywhere a sequence was driven by how far you had scrolled, each part is simply shown in order instead.
• Reveals are skipped. Text and cards are on screen the moment the page loads rather than fading and rising into view.
• World transitions are instant. Clicking through to another world swaps colours immediately instead of playing a wipe.
• The home page preloader is skipped. You land on the page itself.
• Nothing is lost. Every word, link, figure, number and control in the full-motion version is present in the still version. Movement is decoration here; it never carries information on its own.

The keyboard map

Every control on this site can be reached and operated from the keyboard, and whatever holds focus is drawn with a visible ring — that ring is never removed, on any element, anywhere.

While a panel or the switcher is open, focus is held inside it, so Tab cannot wander into the page underneath. The full switcher walkthrough is in navigating between worlds with the dashboard switcher.

Skip to content

Press Tab once on any freshly loaded page of this site and a link reading “Skip to content” appears at the top left. Press Enter and focus jumps past the header and the navigation straight to the main content of the page. It is the first thing in the tab order on every page, deliberately, so you never have to tab through the same header twice.

With JavaScript turned off

The site works. Nothing on it is hidden until a script decides to show it, so a page that never runs a line of JavaScript renders complete rather than blank.

What you get instead: the header becomes a plain list of links to Apex Holding, Greppo Winery, Arz Faraya, Zaarour Gate, Portfolio and this Help Center; the dashboard switcher is not built, because those same links do its job; side panels appear as ordinary blocks of content at the end of the page rather than sliding in; and the search box and category filters on the Help Center do nothing, while all twelve guides stay listed and linked underneath them.

Text size and zoom

Type and spacing on this site are set in relative units and scale with the width of your window, so browser zoom and your browser’s own minimum font size both work as intended — the layout reflows into fewer columns instead of clipping text or forcing you to scroll sideways. Zooming does not turn off any feature.
