Accessibility Statement

STUDIO HOFFENBARTEL aims to make this website usable by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and people using assistive technologies. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as our reference.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We have not yet completed a full review against these guidelines, and we do not claim that the website is fully accessible.

The website currently includes:

• a consistent page structure, with one main heading on each page and headings in a logical order;
• a "Skip to content" link at the start of every page;
• full English and Hebrew versions, with the correct language and text direction on each page;
• text descriptions for meaningful images;
• labels for every form field, required fields marked for assistive technologies, and form messages in the language of the page;
• status messages, such as a sent inquiry or a newsletter subscription, announced to screen readers;
• a notice on links that open in a new tab;
• respect for the reduced motion setting of your device;
• main text colours that meet the WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio for regular text.

An accessibility settings panel is available from the round button in the corner of every page. It lets you:

• increase or decrease the text size, from 90% to 150%;
• switch to a high contrast or a dark contrast display;
• highlight links;
• increase letter spacing or line spacing;
• pause animations and transitions;
• switch to a simpler, more readable font;
• reset all settings at once.

Your choices are saved on your device and applied on your next visit. The panel can be used with a keyboard and closed with the Escape key.

All links, buttons, menus and forms can be reached and used with a keyboard, and the element in focus is clearly outlined. On smaller screens, the main menu opens as a full-screen panel that can be closed with the Escape key.

The website is built with standard HTML and works with the accessibility features of current browsers, such as zoom, text enlargement and reader modes. You can also use your browser's own zoom together with the accessibility settings panel.

Our review so far has combined automated checks with a review of the website's code. We have not yet tested the website manually with screen readers or other assistive technologies.

We are aware of the following limitations and are working to address them:

• the underline that marks the fields of the contact and newsletter forms has lower contrast than recommended;
• on touch screens, some small text links, such as the page path at the top of product pages, have a smaller tap area than recommended;
• some product photographs are still being prepared, so a few pages show neutral image placeholders;
• the website has not yet been tested manually with screen readers or other assistive technologies;
• links to external services, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Google Maps, and newsletter emails sent by our mailing service, are provided by third parties whose accessibility we cannot control.

If you have difficulty using any part of the website, or need information in a different format, please let us know. We will do our best to help.

To help us understand the issue, please tell us which page you were on, what you were trying to do, and, if relevant, the device, browser or assistive technology you were using.

This statement was prepared on 20 October 2026, based on automated checks and a review of the website's code. We will review and update it as the website develops and as we complete further accessibility testing.
