At Emerald Haifa, we are committed to ensuring that everyone, including people with disabilities, can access and enjoy our website and short-term rental services in Haifa, Israel. We recognize the importance of web accessibility and are dedicated to meeting or exceeding the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards to provide an inclusive and user-friendly experience for all visitors to our site.

This Accessibility Statement outlines the steps we have taken to improve the accessibility of our website, the features we have implemented, and how we are continually working towards ensuring that our website is usable by everyone.

WCAG 2.1 Compliance

We strive to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, which were created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure web accessibility for individuals with disabilities. These guidelines are based on four key principles:

1. Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presented in ways that all users can perceive, including those with visual, auditory, or other sensory impairments.

2. Operable: User interface components must be operable by a wide range of users, including those who use keyboard-only navigation or assistive technologies.

3. Understandable: The content and operation of the website must be understandable to all users, including those with cognitive or learning disabilities.

4. Robust: Content must be robust enough to work across a variety of devices, browsers, and assistive technologies, including future user tools.

Key Accessibility Features on Our Website

To ensure our website is accessible to all users, we have implemented the following features:

• Text Alternatives for Images: All images, icons, and other non-text content on our website include descriptive alt text, ensuring that screen readers can convey the information to users with visual impairments.

• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using only a keyboard. All interactive elements, including forms, buttons, and links, can be accessed and used without the need for a mouse.

• Color Contrast and Text Adjustments: We ensure that the color contrast on our website meets accessibility standards for readability. Additionally, users can adjust text size to improve legibility.

• Accessible Forms: Forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages to ensure ease of use for people with disabilities.

• Closed Captions and Transcripts: We provide closed captions for video content, as well as transcripts for any relevant audio files, to assist visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing.

• Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is compatible with major screen readers, including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, allowing individuals with visual impairments to access all content.
