Accessibility Testing in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, Done by Hand
IS 5568 audits against WCAG 2.0 AA, with the evidence an Israeli claim cannot argue with.
The short answer for Tel Aviv-Yafo
Tel Aviv-Yafo is one of the eighteen Israeli cities past 100,000 people, and its municipality runs one of the busier public websites in the Tel Aviv district. That site answers to Regulation 35 like any other. So does yours. IS 5568 adopts WCAG 2.0 AA, and Regulation 35 has required accessible websites since October 2017, with existing sites given until October 2020. Both dates are behind us. This is not a deadline to plan around.
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. That clause is why Israeli accessibility claims move faster than most people expect, and it applies in Tel Aviv-Yafo exactly as it applies anywhere else in the country.
So here is what we do about it. We work your Tel Aviv-Yafo site against all 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules by hand, then a professional blind screen-reader user runs your real journeys while we record where they stop. WCAG 2.2 covers everything 2.0 asks for and a good deal more, so the report answers IS 5568 and leaves you margin. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it.

Inside an audit for a site in Tel Aviv-Yafo
Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in Tel Aviv-Yafo 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.
