Our View on Accessibility
At Lumbre, we believe food is meant for everyone, no matter where you’re from, how you cook, or how you browse the web. This site was created with openness in mind, not just in terms of recipes, but also in how we welcome every visitor. Whether you're here out of curiosity or because you're searching for the perfect comfort dish, your experience should be smooth, easy, and barrier-free.
We're committed to making Lumbre.sg a space where all people, regardless of ability—can enjoy, learn, and get inspired through food. Accessibility isn’t just a checkbox for us; it’s part of our philosophy. Just like a good meal, a good website should bring people together and make them feel at home.
Built on Global Standards
Lumbre.sg follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as our benchmark for accessibility. These are international standards set to make websites more inclusive for users with disabilities.
That means we aim to ensure that every page on our site is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. It's a fancy way of saying: if you're using a screen reader, keyboard navigation, mobile device, or assistive tech of any kind—we want the experience to feel natural and complete.
What We’ve Done
Here’s what we’ve already integrated to improve the accessibility of our site:
- Alt Text for Images
Every meaningful image has alternative text so screen readers can describe what’s shown. Whether it's a bowl of mohinga or a sizzling stir-fry, we want you to get the full picture. - Keyboard Navigation
You can navigate all interactive elements on the site using only your keyboard. This is key for users who don’t use a mouse. - Readable Font and Layout
We've chosen clean, easy-to-read typography and avoided clutter so users can focus on the content, not on figuring out how to get to it. - Color Contrast and Visual Clarity
Text and background colors are selected to ensure they meet contrast ratio guidelines. This helps those with low vision or color blindness read everything clearly. - Responsive Design
Whether you're on a phone in Tokyo, a tablet in Berlin, or a desktop in San Francisco, the site adjusts to your screen for a seamless experience. - Avoiding Motion Triggers
We minimize the use of flashing content or animations that might trigger discomfort or seizures. If there’s motion, it’s there to enhance—not overwhelm. - Clear Link Labels
Links on the site are labeled clearly, so users always know where they’re headed before clicking.
A Work in Progress
We know that accessibility is an ongoing effort—not something that’s “done” and forgotten. As we grow the Lumbre community and expand our recipe collection, we also continue learning how to make this site more usable for everyone.
We regularly run both automated and manual checks to identify issues, and we fix anything that might create difficulty for any user. But tech can only go so far—real feedback is gold.
If something on the site doesn’t work for you or someone you know, we genuinely want to hear about it. Whether it's a button that doesn’t respond or an image that feels out of place, your voice matters. You’re part of our story, and we welcome your input.

Whether you're diving into new cuisines, rediscovering beloved family recipes, or just looking for something tasty to try—Lumbre is the place for you. Our mission is to make this culinary adventure enjoyable and accessible to everyone, no matter who you are.
Why It Matters
Accessibility is about more than just code and compliance. It’s about people. Someone might be reading a recipe using voice commands. Someone else might need high contrast because of visual fatigue. Another person might only have one hand to navigate the screen.
We don’t always know who’s visiting the site, but we want them to feel welcome just the same. Food is one of the most universal joys in life—and we want to make sure nothing stands between you and that joy.
At Lumbre, we believe that if a dish sparks curiosity, brings comfort, or simply hits the spot, it belongs here. And so do you.
