Accessibility statement
We treat accessibility as part of the system, not an add-on. This page describes what was done, what is still limited, and how to reach us.
This site was built to meet Israeli Standard 5568 at level AA, which adopts the W3C WCAG 2.0 guidelines, in accordance with the Israeli Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 2013.
02What was done
Accessibility adjustments on this site
- Correct semantic structure with landmarks, a single main heading per page and an unbroken heading hierarchy.
- A “skip to main content” link at the start of every page.
- Full keyboard navigation, with a clear and visible focus indicator on every interactive element.
- Measured contrast ratios meeting 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for interface components.
- Alternative text on all images; decorative images are hidden from screen readers to avoid noise.
- Labels bound to every form field, with required fields marked in text and not by color alone.
- Links that open in a new window are announced as such.
- Correct language and text-direction declarations on every page, in Hebrew and English.
- The system preference for reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion) is respected.
- An accessibility menu with: larger text, page zoom, a readable font, heading and link highlighting, high contrast, inverted colors, grayscale, a large cursor and stopped animations. Preferences are remembered in the browser.
- Read-aloud of the page content, for anyone who finds sustained reading difficult.
- A day mode and a night mode, so page brightness can match the lighting and personal preference. Both palettes were measured and meet the contrast requirements.
03Process
Ongoing review and improvement
Accessibility is not an end state but continuous work. These are the items in progress:
- The site is checked manually and with automated measurement tools. A full screen-reader review and an external certification audit are planned as the next step.
- Read-aloud relies on the browser and device speech engine. Hebrew availability and voice quality vary between devices; where the engine is unavailable, the control is not shown. It is there to ease reading and is not a substitute for a screen reader.
Hit a problem that is not listed here? We would very much like to hear about it - that is exactly what lets us fix it.
