Keyboard Accessibility Challenge
45 minEach project
Format: Unplug your mouse (or disable the trackpad) and navigate a website using only the keyboard.
Steps:
- Tab to move focus
- Enter to activate buttons/links
- Arrow keys to navigate menus
Record:
- Is the focus position visible? (Do you know where you are?)
- Are all features accessible?
- Is the focus order logical? (Top to bottom, left to right?)
- Are there any "focus traps" (areas you can enter but not leave)?
- When a modal opens, does focus transfer to it?
Why It Matters: Approximately 16% of the world's population has some form of disability (WHO data). Keyboard accessibility is the most fundamental accessibility requirement.
