Accessibility Statement

Virginia Consumer

This statement was last updated on April 26, 2025. We at Virginia Consumer are working to make our site, virginiaconsumer.com and virginiaconsumer.org, accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

At Virginia Consumer, we believe access to information is a public right.


We are committed to making our website accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities.

We have designed this site to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the recognized global standard for web accessibility.
Our efforts include:

  • Ensuring compatibility with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies

  • Using clear content structure, consistent navigation, and descriptive headings

  • Providing alternative text for images

  • Meeting required color contrast standards

  • Minimizing use of motion and flashing elements

  • Making all videos, audio files, and documents as accessible as possible

We regularly review our website and make ongoing improvements to ensure digital access for all users.
 

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content  

The accessibility of certain pages on the site depend on contents that do not belong to the organization, and instead belong to partners and other sources. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard based on the links and information managed by other linked websites.

Requests, issues, and suggestions

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our site, or if you have feedback on how we can improve, please contact us at:

We are committed to removing barriers and providing equal access to public information for everyone.
