Interactive elements should be reachable and operable through a keyboard where the interface requires interaction. A visually obvious control can still be unavailable to someone using another input method. For this project detail page, the practical test is whether the project’s verified scope remains clear when viewed outside the gallery.
Can the page be used without a mouse?
Start with a visitor sharing a particular project’s direct URL. The keyboard access check concerns the work description, image provenance and relevant service contact. A project page can overstate results when it adds unsupported savings, dates or customer quotes. Keep descriptions within approved evidence.
A project may support more than one service, but the template must not attach another branch’s address or an unsupported result to it.
Check it on this page
Read the example independently of the gallery, identify what is verified, and follow its related service or inquiry route.
- Tab through the controls in a meaningful order.
- Open menus and operate links with the keyboard.
- Check the return from any expanded or modal state in an approved preview.
A shared link treatment underlined an entire content block
One reviewed page applied hover underlining to a large linked area, making the whole block look like linked text. The repair needed to address the scope of the style rather than rewriting the content.
For this project detail page, the check focuses on the work description, image provenance and relevant service contact. Style the action label deliberately and check the pointer and keyboard states after changing a shared rule.
Repair the source, then check the published result
Repair inaccessible controls and preserve suitable native behavior. Retest entry, interaction and recovery instead of checking only the first focusable element.
Record the keyboard access result for this destination, then repeat the customer route until the project’s verified scope remains clear when viewed outside the gallery. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.
