ACCESSIBILITY · STATEMENT

Accessibility statement.

This English version is provided for convenience. The Hebrew version is the binding original.

Last updated: July 2026 · Version 1.0 · Per Israeli Standard IS 5568 and WCAG 2.1 AA

Short version: we are committed to a site everyone can use — including people with disabilities. It is built to WCAG 2.1 level AA. Hit a problem? Our accessibility coordinator, Almog, is reachable by email and phone — and we will fix it.

Our commitment to accessibility

AL Platforms treats equal service to every visitor, including people with disabilities, as a top priority. We work to keep al-platforms.com accessible in line with:

  • The Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998 and the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (Accessibility Adjustments to a Service), 5773-2013.
  • Israeli Standard IS 5568 — "Web content accessibility guidelines".
  • The WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) of the W3C, at level AA.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We keep testing, fixing and improving.

Accessibility features already in place

  • Keyboard navigation — the site can be operated with a keyboard alone (Tab / Shift+Tab / Enter), including a "Skip to main content" link on the content pages.
  • Alternative text (alt) — meaningful images carry a text description for screen readers.
  • Color contrast — the palette was chosen so that body text meets level AA contrast ratios.
  • Declared language and direction — every page states its own language and reading direction. This English page is lang="en" and dir="ltr"; the Hebrew site is lang="he" and dir="rtl", right-to-left throughout, with runs of foreign text marked in the correct direction on both.
  • Semantic structure — an ordered heading hierarchy, marked landmark regions (nav, main, footer) and aria-label on the navigations.
  • Accessible forms — every field on the contact form has a label, error messages are shown in plain, clear wording, and submission status is announced to screen readers (role="status").
  • Responsive display — the site adapts to any screen size and supports browser text zoom up to 200% without loss of content.
  • Reduced flashing — nothing on the site flashes at a dangerous rate; animations are decorative and never block content.

Known limitations

Despite our best efforts, parts of the site may still not be fully accessible:

  • Decorative animations — some pages run background animations (stars, graphic "noise", a typing effect). They carry no information, but not every page yet offers a stop control and full support for prefers-reduced-motion.
  • Embedded previews — the live preview windows of the example sites (iframe) on the work page are a visual display only and are not fully exposed to a screen reader. A text description appears beside them.
  • Third-party content — customer sites linked from here are maintained separately, and their level of accessibility may differ.

We are working to close these gaps in the coming updates.

Accessibility coordinator

As required by the regulations, we have appointed an accessibility coordinator. Every inquiry on the subject gets a reply from a real person:

Found an accessibility problem? Tell us

If you ran into a difficulty, a fault or a component that is not accessible, please report it so we can fix it quickly. It helps if your message includes:

  • The address (URL) of the page where you hit the problem.
  • A short description of what you were trying to do and what went wrong.
  • The browser, operating system and assistive technology you were using (if relevant).

Inquiries are answered within 5 business days, and substantive fixes are handled as soon as possible.
