Accessibility Testing Services in Haifa District
The northern port district, audited against the WCAG level IS 5568 adopts.
Where Haifa District stands right now
The Haifa district holds 13 of Israel's 78 cities, from Haifa at the top down to Kafr Qara. Not one of them has an accessibility rule of its own. Israel sets the standard nationally, which makes this page a map rather than a law.
IS 5568 is the governing document. Regulation 35 adopts it and carries WCAG 2.0 AA. Accessible websites have been required since October 2017 and existing sites had until October 2020. The part that does the enforcing is the remedy. Statutory damages reach ₪50,000 and a claim does not have to show anybody was harmed, only that the site fails.
We audit sites anywhere in the Haifa district against all 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules by hand, with a professional blind screen-reader user working your real journeys. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it. Pick your city below, or start with the national picture on the Israel page.

What accessibility testing in Haifa District covers
Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in Haifa District as it is anywhere, because WCAG does not change at a border. What changes is which law is watching and what it costs to fail, and the section above settles that.
The work itself runs in three passes. A machine finds the failures a machine can prove. A human works every one of the 55 A and AA rules by hand. Then a professional blind screen-reader user opens your real journeys and tries to finish them, the way your customers would. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it, drawn from our free library of 432 guides.
None of the reference sits behind a form, either. Every number below counts pages you can go and read right now, free, whether you ever buy an audit or not.

Questions owners in Haifa District ask us
Does the audit change because my site is in Haifa District?
No. WCAG is the same standard everywhere, so the testing is identical wherever you are. What changes is which law is watching and what failing it costs, and that is what the law section on this page settles.
Which law applies to my site in Haifa District?
Israel IS 5568 is the one that reach Haifa District first, and each has its own page here covering what it asks for, who it lands on, and how it gets enforced. Sell into more than one market and more than one of them can reach you at the same time.
Do I have to publish an accessibility statement in Haifa District?
At least one of the laws that reaches Haifa District names an accessibility statement, so plan on publishing one. Our free generator writes it from what the audit found, so the page says what actually works today rather than what you hope works.
What does the audit cost, and how fast is the report?
A Rapid Audit is $499 for 10 pages, with the report in 5 business days. A Standard Audit is $1,499 for 25 pages in 10 business days. Once your team has fixed things, the re-audit is half price within 3 months.
Do you actually test with a blind user?
Yes, on every audit. A professional blind screen-reader user opens your real journeys and tries to finish them, and we write down where they stop. That is the pass no scanner can run.
