The FRED team is striving to make its website more accessible to all users. For example, the focus component is active for FRED’s homepage, header and footer, release pages, and release tables.
When an interactive element on a webpage receives focus, it is highlighted to be identified to users, guiding them to prominent and relevant interactive elements. Visible focus provides benefit for all users, but it significantly improves the experience of keyboard-only users. Tabbing through pages with visual indicators helps ensure users will be able to complete their task without guessing their location on a page.
Stay tuned: More improvements are coming!
