Welcome to Mylifeisyummy. I want every reader to enjoy my recipes and stories with comfort and ease, no matter what device you use or what support you need. My goal is 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
I improve accessibility step by step across content, design, and code.
1. Recipe Accessibility
- Clear ingredients and steps with logical order and simple language
- Alt text for images so screen readers can describe photos
- Readable layout with headings and lists that make sense
- Color contrast that supports comfortable reading
- Timing and difficulty notes 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 movement on the page
- Descriptive headings that help you understand where you are
- Consistent layout across pages and recipe cards
- Logical tab order and visible focus states for keyboard use
3. Technical Improvements
- Mobile responsive design for phones and tablets
- Fast loading pages to support slower connections
- Semantic HTML so assistive tech can understand the structure
- ARIA labels where needed for interactive elements
- Forms that work with assistive tech, simple labels and clear errors
- Readable fonts with comfortable spacing and size
4. Content Accessibility
- Captioned videos when available
- Structured recipe cards that screen readers can follow
- Search that works with screen readers
- Comments that are accessible and easy to use
- Recipe categories organized in a predictable way
Honest Progress
Accessibility is an ongoing journey. Some parts of https://mylifeisyummy.com/ may still need improvement. I review, test, and update regularly, and I truly appreciate your feedback as I continue to learn and refine the site.

Standards I Aim To Meet
I strive to meet 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 code and content
- Explore useful features such as voice guided recipe reading and better filters for dietary needs
