Accessibility statement

Last updated: 25 October 2026

1. Our commitment.

We want everyone to be able to use the website ropes.community and the app at app.ropes.community, including people with disabilities. We follow the Israeli Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998, and regulation 35 of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013. Our target is Israeli Standard 5568, which is based on WCAG 2.0 level AA.

2. What we did on ropes.community.

  • Hebrew right to left and English left to right, with the correct language set on every page.
  • A "skip to content" link at the top of every page.
  • A clear focus indicator when you navigate with the keyboard.
  • A clear page structure: headings, a navigation menu and a footer.
  • Illustrations that carry no essential information, and a logo with alternative text.
  • A layout that works on phone, tablet and desktop, and supports text zoom in the browser.
  • No video or animation that starts on its own.

3. What we did in the app.

  • Interface components (dialogs, menus, selects, tabs) that support keyboard navigation and screen readers.
  • A switch between Hebrew and English, with the matching direction and language.
  • A label for every form field, and error messages in text.
  • Alternative text for images.
  • A layout made for phones.

4. What is not accessible yet, and what we are doing.

  • Maps: the maps are not fully usable with a keyboard or a screen reader. The same information also appears as text: address, distance, driving time and lists.
  • The rich text editor for event descriptions is only partly accessible.
  • The app does not have a "skip to content" link yet, and some screen reader labels are still in English in the Hebrew interface. We are fixing this.
  • We have not yet done a full colour contrast check or an expert accessibility audit. The last check was our own internal review, on 25 October 2026.
  • The Google and Apple sign-in buttons come from them, and we don't control their accessibility. You can always sign in with a phone or email.

If something doesn't work for you, we will help you do anything (sign up, apply to an event, update your details) by email, WhatsApp or phone.

6. How to report a problem.

Tell us what you tried to do, on which page, what happened, and which device, browser or assistive technology you used, and we will get back to you.

7. In-person service.

We have no office open to the public. The whole service is online.
