Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: April 17, 2026 · Standard: IS 5568 / WCAG 2.1 AA

Striving for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance — Israeli Standard IS 5568

Our commitment

Aviel Gendler is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. I continuously work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards, including:

WCAG 2.1 Level AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C
Israeli Standard IS 5568 — the Israeli equal rights regulation for accessibility of internet services, based on WCAG 2.1

Measures taken

To support accessibility, this site implements the following:

Semantic HTML with proper landmark regions (<nav>, <main>, <footer>, <section>)
Logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) on every page
All interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard (Tab, Enter, Space)
Visible focus indicators on all focusable elements
Skip-to-content link at the top of every page
Descriptive alt text on all informative images; decorative images marked alt=""
Text contrast ratios meeting or exceeding 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text
ARIA labels on navigation regions, interactive controls, and modal dialogs
Hamburger menu with aria-expanded and aria-controls attributes
Mode switcher with role="group" and aria-pressed on toggle buttons
Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query
Cookie consent dialog includes keyboard-operable controls and role="dialog"
All pages use lang="en" on the <html> element

Known limitations

The following limitations are known and are being worked on:

Animated marquee strip — the scrolling text banner is decorative and marked aria-hidden="true", so its content is not available to screen readers. No essential information is conveyed in the marquee.
Blog posts — older blog post pages use an alternative color scheme. These pages are being reviewed for full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
Logo carousel — the animated logo strip uses role="img" with a combined aria-label describing all client logos. Some users may prefer a static list; a text alternative can be provided on request.

Technical specifications

This website relies on the following technologies for conformance:

HTML5
CSS3 (including custom properties and media queries)

The website has been tested with:

Keyboard navigation (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Arrow keys)
