Accessibility statement

Our commitment
Everyone should be able to use the Shivuknet site, read the content, compare prices and get in touch, whether they use a keyboard only, a screen reader or enlarged text. The site was rebuilt in 2026 and accessibility work is ongoing. The target is level AA of the Israeli standard IS 5568, which is based on WCAG.
What the site already does
- A "Skip to content" link at the top of every page, and a marked main content region for screen readers.
- Full keyboard navigation with a clearly visible focus outline.
- The mobile menu keeps focus inside while open and closes with the Esc key.
- Page language and text direction are set on every page (Hebrew right-to-left, English left-to-right).
- Images have text alternatives; purely decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Headings follow a logical order so you can jump between sections.
- Dark and light display modes, following your device setting or the display toggle.
- Animations stop when your device is set to reduce motion.
- Silent looping videos have a pause button. On phones, the SEO page hero video does not play by itself.
- YouTube videos load only after you click, and each has a title for screen readers.
- Every form field has a label. If a required field is missing, the message names that field and moves focus to it.
Accessibility menu
The accessibility button in the corner of the screen opens a menu where you can:
- Enlarge text (large or extra large).
- Switch to high contrast or a dark display.
- Underline all links.
- Highlight the focused element.
- Pause animations.
- Switch to a dyslexia-friendly font.
- Reset all settings.
Your settings are saved in your browser and stay in place as you move between pages.
Browsers and devices
The site is tested on current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, on desktop and mobile. Some adjustments may not work in old browsers that are no longer updated by their makers.
Known gaps
- Some older blog posts have images whose text alternative is too generic.
- Some YouTube videos on the site do not have Hebrew captions yet.
- Content from outside services (the YouTube player, Google reviews, WhatsApp) depends on those services' own accessibility.
Most of the site is in Hebrew; this English section covers the main services only.
