Our Commitment

I believe that the internet should be accessible and usable by everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance. As a photography business serving clients in Israel, we are committed to providing an accessible website that enables people with disabilities to access our services with dignity and independence.

I are complying with the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law (5758-1998) and the Israeli Standard (IS 5568) Web Accessibility Guidelines, which require websites to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA standards.

Our Commitment

My website has been developed with accessibility in mind. The following features have been implemented to ensure your experience is inclusive:

Technical Accessibility

• Semantic HTML Structure: The website uses proper HTML markup and semantic elements to provide a clear structure for all users, including those using assistive technologies.
• Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is compatible with popular screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and other assistive technologies that help users with visual impairments navigate web content.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the meaning and content of images, allowing users with visual impairments to understand the information presented.
• Keyboard Navigation: The entire website can be navigated using only a keyboard. Users can navigate using the Tab key to move forward and Shift+Tab to move backward through interactive elements, use arrow keys for menus, and activate buttons and links with the Enter key. The escape (Esc) key can be used to close menus and dialog boxes.
• Clear Focus Indicators: When navigating with a keyboard, a clear and visible focus indicator shows which element is currently active.
• Color Contrast: Text and interactive elements meet the required contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text) to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Accessibility Plugin: We use the “Real Accessibility” WordPress plugin to continuously monitor and enhance the accessibility of our website content.

Information Architecture

• ccessible Forms: All forms on our website include clear labels and instructions, and error messages are provided to help users complete them successfully.
• Understandable Language: Content is written in clear, straightforward language to be understandable to the widest possible audience.
• Logical Page Layout: Content is organized in a logical order that makes sense both visually and when read by screen readers.

My Photography Services and Accessibility Arrangements

We are committed to providing equal access to our photography services for all clients, including those with disabilities. We offer the following services:

• Portrait photography (individuals, couples, families)
• Business photography and corporate headshots
• Event photography

Alternative Service Access

For clients with disabilities:

• Flexible Meeting Locations: We do not have a physical office space. Instead, we meet clients at locations convenient to you. We can accommodate meetings at your preferred accessible location, whether your home, business, or a neutral accessible space such as a coffee shop or public venue.
• Multiple Contact Methods: You can contact us by phone or message (SMS/WhatsApp) to discuss your photography needs and any accessibility accommodations you may require.
• Personalized Service: We are happy to discuss your specific accessibility needs when booking your photography session and will work with you to ensure the session is comfortable and accessible.
• No Barriers to Entry: There is no requirement to visit our office, making our services inherently accessible to clients with various disabilities.

Known Limitations

While I have made significant efforts to make our website as accessible as possible, I recognize that no website is perfect. There may be occasional content or features that are not fully accessible or that I have not yet optimized for all assistive technologies.

If you discover any accessibility issues or barriers on my website, please contact me immediately so I can work to resolve the problem.
