Our Commitment to Accessibility

Virginia Master Naturalist Old Rag Chapter is dedicated to facilitating digital accessibility for individuals with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience for everyone, learn better implementation methods, and apply relevant standards as our website evolves.

Measures to Support Accessibility

We have taken deliberate accessibility efforts to ensure our website is inclusive. We view accessibility as an ongoing learning process and are committed to improving our methods, auditing our content, and better serving our community over time.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve web accessibility across three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

www.oldragmasternaturalists.org is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Partially conformant means that some content does not yet fully conform to the technical accessibility standard in the site's current state.

Technical Specifications and Platform Reliance

Accessibility of www.oldragmasternaturalists.org relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

  • HTML / CSS / JavaScript

  • Squarespace Platform Architecture

We rely on these technologies to meet the accessibility standards we follow. While we work within our website builder framework, we audit and manage our site's content, media, and navigation to work toward an accessible experience for all users.
