Accessibility statement

This statement covers every page at elishamenashe.com, in Hebrew and in English: the home page, the work and project pages, services, about, the “Get a proposal” form, and the privacy, accessibility and terms of use pages.

The site relies on HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SVG.

• Semantic structure: headings, labelled navigation and content regions, and a “Skip to content” link at the top of every page (“Skip to the form” on the form page).
• Full keyboard navigation, with a clear blue focus ring on everything you can operate.
• Contrast of at least 4.5:1 for text, and at least 3:1 for the outlines of buttons and fields, documented for every colour in the design system.
• Every screenshot has alternative text that describes what it shows, and every figure has a caption.
• The pencil notes on the screens are plain text, read in the page’s order. The marks drawn around them (rings, lines and brackets) are decoration and hidden from screen readers.
• The animation at the top of the home page, where a mess of messages, spreadsheets and notes settles into a real screen, is described in words for screen readers. The “Back to the mess” button (and “Sort it out” to return) switches between the two states and its name changes with them, and the mess buttons change the example, are marked as pressed when chosen, and each change of example is announced to screen readers.
• If your operating system is set to reduce motion, you see the final, tidy state at once, with no animation, and the buttons still switch between the states. Nothing on the site locks while you scroll, and nothing flashes.
• On a phone, the menu opens from a button that says whether it is open or closed. Esc, a tap outside the menu or choosing a link closes it, and Esc returns focus to the button.
• In the “Get a proposal” form every field has a visible label. An error is written out in words beside the field, so colour is never the only sign; it is announced to screen readers, and focus moves to the first field to fix. If sending fails, what you wrote stays in the form.
• Touch targets of at least 44 pixels on buttons, navigation and controls (links inside running text follow the text size, and the small links at the foot of the page are at least 24 pixels tall), and no action that is available only on mouse hover.
• You can enlarge text with the browser’s zoom or by pinching on a phone; the site does not block zooming.
• The site is available in Hebrew and English, each in its own reading direction, and every page declares its language.

The screenshots show real product interfaces, some with small or Hebrew text. Their alternative text and captions sum up what matters in each one; the detail inside them is not needed to understand the page.

The illustration at the top of the home page (a drawn mess of messages, a spreadsheet and notes) is described to screen readers in one paragraph, and its pieces are not read one by one.

Links to project demos and sites lead to other websites, which this statement does not cover.

The site was tested with automated checks (axe) in Chrome at phone and desktop sizes, with layout checks at eight screen sizes from phone to wide desktop, with and without motion, and with keyboard-only navigation (September 2026). In October 2026 it was checked again at every axe severity level and with a keyboard walk through every page, and the focus is visible everywhere; that check now runs before every update to the site. A screen-reader pass has not yet been carried out; the page structure, headings and labels follow the standard, and any finding reported will be fixed.

I work remotely; there are no premises open to the public.

If something on the site is not accessible for you, I would like to know and fix it. Write to me by email or on WhatsApp (the details are just below) and, if you can, say which page, which device and browser, and what did not work. A report of an accessibility fault is handled promptly, and within 14 business days at the latest. Accessibility contact: Elisha Menashe.

If the report is not handled, you can contact the Commission for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities at Israel’s Ministry of Justice.
