Our Commitment
DeadSea.com is committed to making its website accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We believe every visitor should be able to access information about the Dead Sea, plan a visit, read our guides, and use the website with dignity, independence, and ease.
We aim to make DeadSea.com conform to Israeli Standard 5568 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, to the extent applicable to the website and its content.
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We continue to review, test, and improve the website as pages, templates, articles, third-party tools, and interactive features are updated.
Conformance Status
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.
DeadSea.com is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the standard. We are actively working to identify and remediate these areas.
Accessibility features on this website
DeadSea.com includes accessibility adjustments and design practices intended to improve usability for visitors with disabilities, including:
- Structured page headings and content hierarchy
- Keyboard-accessible navigation where supported by the website templates
- Clear link and button styling
- Responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile browsing
- Text alternatives for meaningful images where available
- Readable typography and spacing
- Color-contrast considerations in the visual design
- Accessible form structure where forms are used
- A visible accessibility toolbar powered by OneTap
- A process for reporting accessibility issues or requesting assistance
Accessibility toolbar
DeadSea.com uses the OneTap accessibility toolbar to provide additional assistive options for visitors. The toolbar may include features such as text-size adjustments, contrast adjustments, cursor tools, reading aids, text-to-speech, keyboard-navigation assistance, focus tools, and accessibility profiles.
The accessibility toolbar is provided to improve usability, but it does not replace our responsibility to make the website itself accessible. We continue to work on the underlying website structure, templates, content, and third-party integrations.
Third-party content and limitations
Some parts of DeadSea.com may include third-party tools, widgets, embedded content, affiliate booking links, hotel booking tools, maps, social-media feeds, videos, analytics scripts, cookie-consent tools, or externally supplied content.
We do not fully control the accessibility implementation of every third-party service. If a third-party component creates an accessibility barrier, we will make reasonable efforts to assist the user, provide an alternative way to access the relevant information, or work with the provider where possible.
Known limitations
Although we aim to make the website accessible, some areas may not yet be fully accessible. These may include:
- Third-party booking or affiliate widgets
- Embedded social-media content
- Maps or external location tools
- Older images that may require improved alternative text
- PDF files or downloadable documents, if any are added to the website
- Dynamic filters, search results, or interactive components that may require further testing
- Newly published articles or pages before accessibility review is completed
