Keyboard Navigation
Keyboard navigation means moving through and operating a website using keys such as Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, and arrow keys where appropriate.
Keyboard navigation means moving through and operating a website using keys such as Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, and arrow keys where appropriate. It is essential for people who cannot use a mouse and can also help other visitors. On a handyman website, someone should be able to reach the service menu, follow links, complete a quote form, and submit it without relying on pointer-only actions. A logical focus order and visible focus indicators make this possible to follow. Custom menus and popups need special attention because they can accidentally trap keyboard users. Keyboard access is one part of website accessibility, not a substitute for readable content or other accommodations.
