Text alternatives for meaningful images; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
The enquiry form has a label for every field and marks required fields.
The graphic size ruler has a text table behind it, and all sizes are also in a plain table.
Text can be enlarged to 200% without losing content, and the site works on phones.

How the site was tested

Every page, in Hebrew and English, was checked with an automated testing tool (axe) at desktop and phone sizes, and checked by hand for keyboard navigation.
