Accessibility Testing Services in Israel
IS 5568 audits for the market where damages need no proof of harm.
Where Israel stands right now
Israel's IS 5568 has required accessible websites since October 2017, against WCAG 2.0 AA, and statutory damages reach ₪50,000 with no proof of harm needed. That last clause is the one that does the enforcing. A claim does not have to show anybody was hurt, only that the site fails.
We audit Israeli sites against the WCAG rules IS 5568 adopts, checked by hand and then by a professional blind screen-reader user. The report gives you every failure with its screenshot and its fix.

What accessibility testing in Israel covers
Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in Israel 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.

The honest limit
And an audit is evidence, not a legal opinion. We tell you what fails, who it stops, and what closes it. Whether that satisfies a regulator or a court in Israel is a question for your lawyer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Questions owners in Israel ask us
Does the audit change because my site is in Israel?
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 Israel?
Israel IS 5568 is the one that reach Israel 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 Israel?
At least one of the laws that reaches Israel 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.
