Accessibility statement
This statement describes the accessibility of this site honestly, including what has not been done. An accessibility statement that claims full conformance without testing is worth less than one that says where the gaps are.
The standard this site aims at
The target is WCAG 2.1 level AA, which is the standard referenced by Israeli Standard 5568 and by the accessibility regulations under the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law. The site is a set of static pages with two small browser tools, which keeps the surface small and the standard realistic to meet.
What has been done
- Structure carries meaning. Pages use real headings in order, a single main landmark, a labelled navigation landmark, lists that are lists and tables that are tables. Nothing relies on visual styling to convey what an element is.
- Keyboard operation throughout. Every link, button and form field is reachable and operable from the keyboard in a logical order, with no traps. A skip link at the top of each page jumps past the navigation.
- Visible focus. Focused elements draw a clear ring rather than relying on the browser default over custom backgrounds.
- Contrast. Body text, secondary text, links, buttons and status colours were measured against their actual backgrounds in both light and dark themes, and all meet or exceed the AA ratios. The link colour was changed specifically because the previous one measured 4.28:1, below the 4.5:1 requirement.
- Both colour schemes. The site follows your system light or dark preference, and the contrast requirements are met in each.
- Text and zoom. Sizes are set in relative units, the layout reflows rather than breaking, and the pages work at increased text size and browser zoom.
- Right to left. The Hebrew side is a genuine RTL layout built with logical CSS properties, not a mirrored afterthought.
- Motion. There is no animation, no autoplay, no carousel and nothing that moves on its own. The few hover transitions are disabled for visitors whose system requests reduced motion.
- Forms. Every field in both tools has a permanently visible label associated with it. The categorizer announces new rows to assistive technology through a live region.
- Language. Each page declares its language, and the two language versions point at each other so a screen reader announces the correct one.
Limitations we know about
These are open and stated rather than omitted.
- No screen reader testing has been carried out. The structural work above was verified by inspecting the markup and measuring contrast, not by using NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver on the real pages. This is the largest gap in this statement.
- No independent audit. Nothing here has been reviewed by an external accessibility examiner, so this statement reflects internal checking only.
- Wide tables on narrow screens. Several guides carry three-column tables. On a small phone these are tight, and some may require horizontal scrolling within the page.
- Printed and PDF output. The invoice generator produces its PDF through your browser print dialog. The resulting file is not a tagged, structurally accessible PDF, because the browser controls that output rather than this site.
- External destinations. The site links out to the Israel Tax Authority and the National Insurance Institute. Their accessibility is their own responsibility and is not covered here.
Reporting an accessibility problem
Accessibility is handled by the site operator. Under the Israeli regulations this statement should name a way to reach that person directly, and at present the site publishes no contact address, so that channel is missing. This is a known deficiency in this statement rather than an oversight in the page, and it is recorded here so it is visible rather than quietly absent. Until a contact route is published, a fault can be raised through the public repository the site is published from.
How this statement is maintained
The date above is the date of the last accessibility work, not a date that is refreshed automatically. When the checks are run again, or when a limitation above is closed, this page changes and the change is visible in the public source history.
