Welcome to Anna Recipes. My goal is for every visitor to enjoy my recipes and stories with comfort and ease, no matter what device you use or what support you need. I want this website to be an inclusive experience, where you can read, search, save, and cook without barriers.
My Commitment
I am committed to building a website that works for people who use:
- Screen readers and voice output software
- Voice recognition software
- Keyboard navigation
- Magnification tools and larger text settings
- Different browsers and devices
- Other assistive technologies
What I Focus On
1. Recipe Accessibility
- Clear ingredients and steps in logical order
- Alt text for images so screen readers can describe photos
- Readable layouts with headings and lists that make sense
- Color contrast for comfortable reading
- Recipe timing and difficulty written in a screen reader friendly way
- Units and measurements written clearly, with consistent abbreviations
2. Website Navigation
- Keyboard accessible menus and controls
- Skip to content links for faster navigation
- Descriptive headings to help you know where you are
- Consistent layout across all recipe pages
- Logical tab order and visible focus states for keyboard users
3. Technical Improvements
- Mobile responsive design for phones and tablets
- Fast loading pages for slower connections
- Semantic HTML so assistive tech can understand structure
- ARIA labels where needed for interactive elements
- Accessible forms with clear labels and error messages
- Readable fonts with comfortable spacing and size
4. Content Accessibility
- Captioned videos when available
- Structured recipe cards that screen readers can follow
- Search function compatible with assistive technology
- Accessible comment sections that are easy to use
- Organized recipe categories in a predictable structure
Honest Progress
Accessibility is an ongoing journey. Some parts of www.annarecipes.com may still need improvement. I regularly review, test, and update the website, and I truly value your feedback.

Standards I Aim To Meet
I strive to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. These principles guide my work:
- Perceivable – Information can be seen or heard in more than one way
- Operable – Controls and navigation can be used by everyone
- Understandable – Content and forms are clear and predictable
- Robust – Content works well with different assistive technologies
Ongoing Steps
To keep improving accessibility, I plan to:
- Review new content with accessibility checks
- Test with screen readers and keyboard navigation
- Collect and apply user feedback
- Keep learning best practices and update design and code
- Explore new features such as voice-guided recipe reading and dietary filters
