The direct answer

A visually attractive form can still trap focus or make selections inaccessible. Keyboard checks reveal practical barriers without submitting a lead.

What to check

Move through labels, controls, error messages and buttons using the keyboard. Confirm visible focus and a sensible order in a preview or approved test environment.

What to do next

Repair inaccessible controls and preserve native behavior where practical. Verify the full journey after changes, including the ability to recover from an invalid entry.
