As a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the conservation and appreciation of Virginia's native plants, the Central Rappahannock Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online environment that allows all visitors to navigate, understand, and engage with the content effectively.
​ACCESSIBILITY COMMITMENT
Our commitment to web accessibility is an integral part of our mission to make information about native plants available to everyone. We are continuously working to enhance the accessibility of our website to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
What web accessibility means to us
Web accessibility means creating a digital space that can be utilized by individuals with diverse abilities. It involves providing equal access to information and functionality, ensuring that all visitors, regardless of their abilities, can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the content on our website.
Our approach to accessibility
In accordance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines, we have implemented various adjustments to enhance the accessibility of our site. These include optimizing the site for screen readers, providing keyboard navigation, ensuring clear heading structures, adding descriptive alternative text to images, and maintaining color contrast for readability. We have also minimized the use of motion, and all multimedia content is designed to be accessible.
- While we have made substantial efforts to ensure full compliance, there may be certain pages or content on the site that are not fully under our control. In such cases, we declare partial compliance with the accessibility standards for those specific elements.
We are dedicated to continually improving the accessibility of our digital presence. Our team regularly reviews and updates the website to incorporate best practices for accessibility and ensure that all users can access the information they seek.
If you encounter any accessibility barriers on our website, have difficulty accessing specific content, or require assistance, please contact us. Our accessibility coordinator is available to address any concerns, receive feedback, and provide additional information:
