Accessibility statement

Last reviewed: August 5, 2026

We want every photographer and every client to be able to use Zawiya. This page states plainly what is in place today and what is not — it is not a conformance claim.

In place today

  • Every page declares its language and text direction on the document itself, so screen readers announce Arabic and Hebrew correctly and the layout mirrors for right-to-left readers.
  • The interface honours your system's reduced-motion setting: when it is on, animations and parallax are switched off rather than merely shortened.
  • Interactive controls are real buttons and links, so they are reachable by keyboard and expose their state to assistive technology.
  • Locale-specific typefaces are used for Arabic and Hebrew, and letter-spacing is disabled for both, because spacing cursive scripts breaks the joins between letters.

Known gaps

We would rather list these than claim a standard we have not tested against.

  • No independent WCAG audit has been carried out. We do not claim a conformance level.
  • Videos uploaded to galleries do not currently support captions.
  • There is no skip-to-content link.
  • We have not yet added an accessibility toolbar. We are evaluating options rather than shipping one that overlays the problem.

Report a barrier

If something on Zawiya blocked you, tell us what you were trying to do and what got in the way. Accessibility reports go to the front of the queue. info@zawiya.studio
