Accessibility statement
Last updated: 11 November 2026
Gal Reches Architect is committed to providing equal, accessible service to everyone, including people with disabilities. The site was built so that everyone can use it easily, in line with the Israeli Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998, and the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013.
Conformance level
The site was made accessible according to Israeli Standard IS 5568, "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines", at level AA, which is based on the W3C WCAG 2.0 guidelines. WCAG 2.1 level AA guidance was also applied wherever possible.
The site was tested in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, on desktop and mobile, and with keyboard-only navigation.
Adjustments made
- Semantic structure of headings, landmarks and navigation for screen readers.
- Full keyboard navigation, including a "Skip to content" link on every page and a clearly visible focus indicator.
- Text alternatives for meaningful images; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Colour contrast meeting level AA requirements for text.
- Text can be enlarged to 200% with the browser without loss of content.
- Fully responsive layout for all screen sizes and orientations.
- The image gallery works with the keyboard: arrows to move between images, Esc to close. On phones there are also Previous and Next buttons, and focus returns to the opened image after closing.
- The mobile navigation menu closes with Esc and keeps focus inside while open.
- Links that open in a new window are announced to screen readers.
- A missing or invalid form field is marked, and focus moves to it together with the error message.
- Form fields have labels, and error messages are announced to screen readers.
- The operating system's "reduce motion" setting is respected: all animation is disabled for those who choose it.
- No flashing content and no video or audio that plays automatically.
- Language and text direction (Hebrew right-to-left, English left-to-right) are set on every page.
Known limitations
Despite our efforts, some parts of the site may not yet be fully accessible. Content on external sites the site links to (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp) is outside our control. Image descriptions in the project galleries are general. If sending a message via WhatsApp is difficult for you, please contact us by phone or email.
Studio accessibility and meetings
Meetings are held by appointment and can take place at the project site, by video call or at another accessible location. If you need any adjustment for a meeting, let us know when scheduling and we will be glad to prepare.
