  2. Legality:
    In Israel, there are laws and regulations that require websites and apps to be accessible
    Failure to comply with the requirements of the law can lead to lawsuits.True, these laws change from time to time, but it is important to ensure that the website is most optimally accessible to the business + create a contact form or page to help customers contact a page called "Accessibility Statement".
  3. Accessibility improves the user experience for everyone:
    It's not just people with disabilities who benefit from accessible websites and apps.
    Accessibility can improve the user experience for everyone, including older people, people with learning disabilities and people who use mobile devices.
