Net.Haver is a unique Israeli social media platform designed for adults with intellectual disabilities to expand their social circles and improve their quality of life.
The aim of Net.Haver is to improve quality of life by expanding social circles, adjusted recreational activities, and accessible information channels. The platform offers users simplified information, a space for self-expression, community creation, widening social circles, and adapted leisure activities.
Users can take on a variety of roles in the network: writer, mentor for new members, Zoom group instructor, or member of the website development advisory committee. The site is designed with people with disabilities and for them, in line with the principle, “Nothing About Us Without Us.”
-- Designing a digital platform for adults with intellectual disabilities required addressing extremely high accessibility (A11y) standards. The challenge was to create a space that felt both intuitive and engaging, while remaining fully inclusive for users with a wide range of abilities.
-- I led the brand development and UX/UI design, focusing on accessibility-first principles. This meant rethinking color contrasts, iconography, navigation patterns, and content hierarchy to ensure maximum clarity and usability. I worked iteratively, testing design decisions with accessibility guidelines in mind and aligning them with the platform’s mission of inclusion.
-- The final design combined a friendly, approachable visual language with clear, simple interactions. The interface emphasizes large visuals, easy-to-read text, and guided navigation, helping users feel confident and independent while engaging with the platform.
