Accessibility Statement

QuickSeq (“we”, “us”) believes that the internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. This statement describes the accessibility features of quickseq.bio, the measures we have taken, and how to reach us if you encounter a barrier.

1 Our commitment

We work to ensure that our website conforms, as far as reasonably practicable, to the Israeli Standard IS 5568 for internet content accessibility (based on the international WCAG 2.0 guidelines) at Level AA, and to the requirements of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Accessibility Adjustments for Service) Regulations, 5773–2013. Accessibility is an ongoing effort and we continue to improve the site over time.

2 Conformance status

The site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 Level AA: most of the site meets the standard, and we are actively working on the areas that do not yet fully conform (see Known limitations). This statement was last self-reviewed on the date shown above; it has not yet been audited by an external accessibility examiner.

3 The accessibility menu

An accessibility menu is available on every page via the round button fixed to the right edge of the screen (or by pressing Tab after the page loads). It lets you adjust the display without any add-on software:

• Larger / smaller text — scale the text up or down in steps.
• High contrast — a black background with white text and yellow links.
• Invert colors — a negative-contrast colour scheme.
• Highlight links — underline every link so it stands out.
• Readable font — switch to a plain, easy-to-read font with looser spacing.
• Reset — return everything to the default at any time.

Your choices are remembered on your device for your next visit. A “Skip to main content” link also appears when you start navigating with the keyboard.

4 Measures we’ve taken

• Keyboard access — the site can be operated with a keyboard, and the currently focused element is shown with a clear visible outline.
• Semantic structure — headings, lists, landmarks and page titles are used so screen readers can navigate the content.
• Text alternatives — meaningful images include descriptive alt text; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
• Resizable & responsive — text can be enlarged (via the menu or the browser) and the layout adapts to mobile, tablet and desktop, and to browser zoom.
• Colour & contrast — we aim for sufficient contrast between text and background, with a high-contrast mode available for anyone who needs more.
• Clear language & links — we use plain language and descriptive link text where we can.

5 Browsers & assistive technology

The site is designed to work with current versions of common browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge) on desktop and mobile, together with their built-in assistive tools (such as screen readers, zoom and voice control). Using the most up-to-date version of your browser and assistive technology will give the best experience.

6 Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some parts of the site may not yet be fully accessible:

• Certain interactive tools, price calculators and provider-comparison pages are still being reviewed and improved for full conformance.
• Some third-party or embedded content is controlled by the third party and may not fully match this standard.
• A small number of documents or images may not yet have complete text alternatives.

We are working to resolve these, and the accessibility menu can help in the meantime. If you hit a barrier, please tell us (below) and we’ll prioritise it.

7 Physical accessibility

QuickSeq provides its services online and by courier. We do not operate an office or service location that is open to the public, so no physical accessibility arrangements apply. If you need help sending samples or documents in a way that suits you, please contact us.

8 Feedback & getting help

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of QuickSeq. If you encounter a barrier, need information in an accessible format, or want to report a problem, please contact our accessibility coordinator:

Please include the page address (URL) and a description of the problem so we can help quickly. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.

9 Your rights

If we are unable to resolve your issue, you may contact the Commission for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Israel Ministry of Justice), which is responsible for enforcing the accessibility regulations.
