Accessibility statement
Helixiarity wants this website to be accessible and usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. The site was built to meet the Israeli Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Act, 1998, the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 2013, and Israeli Standard IS 5568, which is based on the W3C's WCAG 2.0 guidelines at level AA. We also applied most of the WCAG 2.1 level AA requirements. The Hebrew version of this statement is the binding one.
What we made accessible
- Proper semantic structure: headings in order, marked navigation and content regions, and lists marked as lists.
- Full keyboard navigation with a clearly visible focus indicator, and a "Skip to main content" link at the top of every page.
- Text alternatives for every meaningful image. Decorative elements are hidden from screen readers.
- Color contrast of at least 4.5:1 for normal text.
- Page language and text direction are declared, and words in another language are marked.
- The site adapts to computers, tablets and mobile devices and supports zoom up to 200% without loss of content.
- The site respects the operating system's "reduce motion" setting and Windows high-contrast mode.
- The FAQ uses a standard expand/collapse element that screen readers recognize.
- Dynamic messages (for example "address copied") are announced to screen readers.
- There is no flashing content, no content that plays on its own, and no time limits.
The accessibility menu
A button in the corner of the screen opens a menu with: larger and smaller text, high contrast, highlighted links, a readable font, stopping animations and a large cursor. Your settings are saved in your browser on your device only, and you can reset them at any time.
Browsers and assistive technology
The site was built and tested to work in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, on computers and mobile devices, and was built to work with screen readers such as NVDA and VoiceOver.
Known limitations
- The site shows screenshots of the kits. Each has a text description, but the small text inside a screenshot cannot be read by a screen reader. Their main content is also described in the text beside them.
- This statement covers the website. The study kits are a separate product. If you need an adjustment in a kit, contact us and we will be happy to help.
If you run into a problem, we would like to hear about it and fix it.
