Accessibility level

The site was adapted under Israel’s Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Accessibility Adjustments for Service) Regulations, 2013, and the Israeli standard IS 5568, which is based on the WCAG 2.0 guidelines at level AA. The adjustments were checked with an automatic testing tool and by using the site with a keyboard, on a computer and on a phone.

What we did on the site

• You can use the whole site with a keyboard alone, with a clearly visible focus indicator, and a “Skip to content” link at the top of every page.
• All images, buttons and fields have descriptions for screen readers, and the progress of making the film is read aloud.
• Text has high contrast, and you can enlarge it up to 200% without content being cut off.
• If you turned on “reduce motion” on your device, you get the site without animations, and the 3D album as a regular picture.
• Screen readers get, instead of the 3D album, a list of the sample films, each with a button that plays it.
• The site is in Hebrew, written right to left, and this English version left to right; each is marked that way in the code so screen readers read it correctly.

Known limits

• The films have no speech, only music, so they have no subtitles. The only text in a film is the opening line written by whoever made it.
• The motion of the photos in a film is made automatically and has no audio description.

Paima has no physical service point: the whole service is provided on the site.

We keep checking the site. If you run into a difficulty, we’d be glad to hear about it and fix it.
