Does your website comply with the accessibility law?
In Israel, business websites are legally required to be accessible to people with disabilities. Non-compliance can mean lawsuits up to ₪50,000 — with no proof of damage required. We'll check your site for free.
It's an obligation, not a “nice-to-have”
The requirement has been in force since 2017 and applies to virtually any business with a website — from a clinic or a shop to a nail salon. Most owners only find out about it after receiving a letter from a lawyer.
- The law applies to websites of businesses that serve the public
- Standard: IS 5568, based on the international WCAG 2.0 Level AA
- Lawsuit — up to ₪50,000 WITHOUT proof of damage
- There are lawyers who specialize in filing such claims
- You need: an accessible site + an accessibility statement (הצהרת נגישות) + a designated contact
4 steps to a compliant website
Free check
We test your website against the standard and send a clear report: what's violated and what it could cost you.
Implementation
We add an accessibility menu and fix critical violations: contrast, keyboard navigation, alternative text, forms.
Statement
We prepare your accessibility statement (הצהרת נגישות / hatzharat negishut) with a designated contact — a mandatory legal requirement.
Documentation
We hand you a full set of confirmations — your protection in the event of complaints or lawsuits.
We work with WordPress, Wix, Shopify and any other platform. Our own website is a live example: the accessibility menu is in the bottom-left corner and the statement is already in place.
Frequently asked questions about accessibility
My site runs on WordPress — can it be fixed without a rebuild?
Yes. In most cases a WordPress site (and a site on almost any platform) can be brought into compliance without rebuilding from scratch: an accessibility menu, template fixes, proper markup, and the statement. A full rebuild is rarely needed — we'll tell you honestly after the free check.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Implementation starts at от 690 ₪; the exact quote depends on the size of the site and the number of violations. Turnaround is usually from a few days to two weeks. The express check is free.
Can I really be sued?
Yes, and this is not a scare tactic: the law allows claims of up to ₪50,000 in compensation without proof of damage, and in Israel there is an established practice of mass lawsuits over inaccessible websites. It's far cheaper to bring your site into order than to pay a claim plus rush fixes.
Is it enough to just install an “accessibility widget”?
No. A widget is only part of the solution: the law requires genuine content accessibility (contrast, keyboard navigation, text for screen readers) and a published statement with a designated contact. We cover the requirement in full, not just for show.
