Accessibility statement

Which standard the site follows

The site was built to the guidelines of Israeli Standard 5568, which is based on the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, at level AA. This is the level that the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Accessibility Adjustments for Service) Regulations require of websites.

We tested the site with automated tools and by navigating it with a keyboard. Automated testing does not catch every problem, so if you come across something that does not work, please tell us and we will fix it.

What we adapted on the site

• You can use the entire site with a keyboard alone, and every page has a skip link at the top that goes straight to the content.
• Every page has one main heading and an orderly heading structure, so screen reader users can navigate by headings.
• Images have text descriptions. Decorative background images are marked so that screen readers skip them.
• Text and button colors meet a contrast ratio of at least 4.5 to 1.
• The site adapts to phones and tablets, and you can zoom in your browser without content being cut off.
• Fields in the contact form have labels, and error messages are written out in text.
• The site has no flashing content and no video that plays by itself. There are no time limits.

The accessibility menu

A round button in the bottom left corner of every page opens an accessibility menu. The settings you choose stay in place when you move to another page, and you can reset them with one click. The menu is available in Hebrew and English, with a button that switches between them.

• Larger or smaller text, letter spacing and line spacing.
• Inverted colors and grayscale.
• Underlines on all links.
• A large mouse cursor and a reading guide that follows the mouse.
• Stopping animations.
• Reading text aloud, in browsers that support it.

What is still limited

• The map on the contact page is a Google component that we do not control. The address, phone numbers and opening hours are written next to it in plain text.
• Links to Instagram, WhatsApp and Google Maps lead to external sites, and their accessibility depends on those sites.
• Some images are photographs of artworks. Their descriptions say what the photo shows and do not replace the artwork itself.

Accessibility at the studio

The studio is at 29 Derech Beit Lehem in Baka, Jerusalem, in an old stone building. Before you come, please call us at 02-6714005 and we will explain how to get in and how we can help. You can also get advice and a price quote by phone, WhatsApp or email without coming in.
