Accessibility Testing in North District, Done by Hand
The widest spread of city sizes in Israel, and the same duty for every one.
The short answer for North District
The North district holds 18 of Israel's 78 cities, from Nazareth at the top down to Beit She'an. 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 North 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.

Inside an audit for a site in North District
Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in North 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.

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 North District is a question for your lawyer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Straight answers for North District
My site is in North District. Does that change what you test?
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.
What law am I actually answering to in North District?
Israel IS 5568 is the one that reach North 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.
Should I be publishing an accessibility statement here?
At least one of the laws that reaches North 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 am I paying, and what turnaround do I get?
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.
Who does the human half of the testing?
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.
