We want everyone, including people with disabilities, to be able to read the content on HealthMe comfortably and independently. This statement describes the accessibility of the website as of the date it was last updated.
The Standard We Aim For
We are working to bring the website in line with Israel’s Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013, and with Israeli Standard IS 5568 at level AA, which is based on WCAG 2.0. The website has not yet had a full accessibility audit by a certified accessibility professional, so we do not claim full compliance with the standard.
What We Have Done
- Each page has a single main heading, and the other headings follow a logical hierarchy.
- Images that carry information have alternative text. Decorative illustrations in articles are marked as decorative, so screen readers skip them.
- Each page declares its language and text direction (Hebrew right-to-left, English left-to-right) in its code.
- The website adapts to desktop, tablet and mobile screens without horizontal scrolling.
- Tap areas for buttons, links and menus on mobile and tablet are at least 44 pixels.
- A “skip to content” link at the start of every page leads straight to the main content, and every page marks its main content, menus and search areas for screen readers.
- The whole website can be used with a keyboard: menus, search, articles and the reading controls. Keyboard focus is clearly visible and is not hidden under the sticky header. Social media icons and the WhatsApp button have text labels for screen readers.
- In articles, the reading controls enlarge the text up to 130%, and an accessibility toolbar is available on every page.
- The colour contrast of text, links and buttons in the page templates has been checked and corrected.
- In October 2026 the page templates in Hebrew and English were checked with automated testing tools against WCAG 2.2 level AA and with keyboard navigation, and the issues found were fixed.
Known Limitations
- The website has been partly tested with the VoiceOver screen reader and has not yet been tested with NVDA.
- Third-party content and services that the website links to, such as WhatsApp, social media and external sources, are outside our control, and their accessibility depends on their operators.
We continue to review and improve the accessibility of the website.
