Accessibility statement

This site is built as an interactive Windows 95 style desktop - an unusual choice, so this statement spells out exactly what is accessible, how to drive the site without a mouse, and where the limits still are. It was built to WCAG 2.1 level AA guidelines and the principles of Israeli standard IS 5568.

The accessibility widget

Every page runs the NagishLi accessibility menu, in the corner of the screen. From there you can enlarge text, raise contrast, highlight links, switch font, enlarge the cursor and stop animations - with nothing to install.

Driving the desktop without a mouse

  • Tab and Shift+Tab move between the desktop icons, the Start button and the taskbar. Enter or Space opens whatever is focused.
  • The Start menu holds the same full list of everything on the site, as a plain list of buttons. It is the shortest, safest route to every corner.
  • Esc closes the focused window, and also closes the Start menu and any message that opened.
  • Every window is announced by name, and the minimize, maximize and close buttons in the title bar carry text labels.
  • The speaker button in the taskbar mutes and restores every sound on the site. No sound plays on its own before you touch something.
  • Below 761 pixels every window opens full screen, so on a phone there is no dragging or resizing to do at all.

What else is in place

  • A full screen-reader summary on the homepage - who I am, the services and the FAQ - in plain text that mirrors what is on screen.
  • The inner pages (work, talks, workshops, media, story, contact) are entirely ordinary pages, with a skip link, a heading hierarchy, landmarks and a label on every form field.
  • Hebrew loads RTL and English LTR, with the correct language marked on each page.
  • Anyone who set reduced motion in their operating system gets the site without the extra animation.
  • Alternative text on informative images; decorative images are hidden from screen readers so they do not add noise.
  • A visible keyboard focus ring on every interactive element, in bold yellow.

What is still not accessible

Better to say this outright than to make a blanket promise:

  • Dragging windows, resizing them and moving icons need a mouse or touch. The alternative: the maximize button in the title bar, and on a phone every window opens full anyway. No content is lost without dragging.
  • The games and toys - Minesweeper, the paint app, destroyer mode and the Tamagotchi - are visual and pointer-driven, and are not screen-reader accessible. They are extras only: they hold no information, and nothing on the site depends on them.
  • The videos are hosted on YouTube, so subtitles, speed and accessibility controls belong to the YouTube player. Some talks do not have Hebrew subtitles yet.
  • The desktop itself does not scroll like a regular page - scrolling happens inside each window. If that gets in your way, write to me and I will send the content in a plain format.

Ran into a problem? Write to me

I handle accessibility requests myself. Tell me which page, which device and browser, and what happened - and I will get back to you. If something is blocking you right now, I will send you the content another way in the meantime.
