Accessibility

• A skip link to the main content as the first focusable element on every page.
• One <h1> per page and a real heading order, with landmarks (header, main, nav, footer) on every route including the 404 page.
• Full keyboard operation: search suggestions are reachable with the arrow keys, Home, End, Enter and Escape; the mood filter is a radio group you move through with the arrow keys; pagination is real links.
• Visible focus styles that are never removed, and descriptive names on icon-only controls such as the bookmark toggle.
• Meaningful alternative text on recipe photography, and empty alt only on images that repeat adjacent text.
• A live region announcing how many search suggestions are available as you type.
• Motion: hover-zoom and transitions are disabled under prefers-reduced-motion. There is no autoplaying video, no carousel and no content that moves on its own.
• A declared dark colour scheme, so native controls and scrollbars render in their dark variants rather than as light widgets on a dark page.

We are being specific here because a vague statement is not useful to anyone deciding whether they can use the site.

• No independent audit and no assistive-technology user testing has been carried out. Our checks are automated tooling plus keyboard testing.
• Some decorative text is set at small sizes with wide letter-spacing for the editorial look. It meets contrast requirements, but it is small.
• Recipes do not yet carry structured allergen or dietary metadata, which would help people filter by need rather than by reading every ingredient list.

If something here is unusable with a screen reader, a keyboard, magnification, or at the text size you need, we treat that as a defect rather than a suggestion. Write to kevynsgrin@gmail.com and tell us the page, what you were using and what happened. See also our contact page.
