Accessibility statement
We want everyone to be able to use this site. This statement describes what has actually been done, what has actually been tested, and where a gap still exists. Saying so plainly is better than a sweeping claim that does not hold up.
Updated:
Conformance level
The site has been built to Israeli Standard IS 5568 level AA, which is based on the W3C's WCAG 2.0 guidelines, under the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013.
Conformance is complete across every criterion tested, except colour contrast, where a declared gap remains. It is described in full below, together with what we have done to reduce it.
The accessibility button
Every page carries an accessibility button in the lower corner. It opens a menu with these adjustments:
- High contrast: swaps the site's colours for a darker set and removes the decorative background washes. This improves contrast substantially across most of the site, including the green buttons and headings, though not on every component.
- Larger text: two levels of enlargement, with no loss of content or function.
- Underline links: an underline on every content link, so a link is never signalled by colour alone.
- Stop animation: removes movement and video across the site.
Your choice is stored on your device and stays active as you move between pages. The button works regardless of any cookie decision and uses no third-party component, because an accessibility tool that depends on accepting cookies is not much use to the people who need it.
What has been done
- A correct, hierarchical heading structure on every page, so a screen reader can navigate by headings.
- Alternative text for images that carry meaning, and decorative images marked so a screen reader skips them.
- Full keyboard navigation, with a clear indication of the focused element, and a skip-to-content link.
- Forms with associated labels, worded error messages and marked required fields.
- Support for browser text enlargement without loss of content or function.
- The reduced-motion system preference is honoured, so anyone who has set it sees the site without animation even without using the button.
- Tables with defined headers, and scrollable regions that can be reached by keyboard.
- Demonstration videos are visual illustrations with no soundtrack, and carry no information that is not also in the text beside them.
The gap we know about
In the default view, some elements in the brand's green do not reach the required contrast ratio: the main heading on the home page, and white text on the green action buttons.
This is a deliberate decision rather than an oversight. The green is part of the brand identity, and we chose to keep it in the standard view and to offer a high-contrast mode that does meet the requirement alongside it, rather than give up one for the other.
Anyone who needs higher contrast can turn it on with a single click on the accessibility button, on the same page, with exactly the same content and the same functions, and the preference is remembered. That mode improves contrast on most components but does not bring every one of them to AA, so we do not present it as a complete substitute for conformance.
We keep this under review. If the standard view makes things hard for you, we would like to hear it, and it is a decision we will revisit.
How it was tested
Accessibility was tested automatically using the axe-core testing engine, across ten representative pages covering every page family on the site, at two viewports: wide desktop and mobile.
The tests cover WCAG 2.0 levels A and AA together with the WCAG 2.1 additions. Every issue found has been fixed except colour contrast. High-contrast mode reduces the number of non-conforming elements by an order of magnitude, but as of today some remain below the required ratio.
Automated testing does not replace human testing and does not detect every possible issue. We keep testing and fixing.
What is not yet accessible
- The site has not been tested in every possible combination of browser, operating system and assistive technology.
- Content hosted on external services linked from the site, including the documentation site and third-party services, is outside our control and its accessibility is determined by their operators.
Found something that does not work for you? That is not a nuisance, it is exactly why this section exists. Write to us and we will deal with it.
