A visible focus indicator helps readers know which control will act next. It should remain understandable against the background and should not disappear underneath a fixed header. For this project gallery, the practical test is whether the example opens a correctly labeled detail and relevant next step.
Can users see where keyboard focus is?
Start with a visitor looking for work relevant to a planned project. The visible focus check concerns gallery labels, project destinations and whether the imagery is actual work or an illustration. A manufacturer image or fictional demo can look like a completed client project unless the page clearly identifies it. Visual polish does not establish provenance.
Shared gallery templates must retain the project’s service and location associations rather than borrowing the first branch’s labels.
Check it on this page
Choose a gallery example that matches a service question, open its details, and distinguish completed work from illustrative imagery.
- Follow keyboard focus across different backgrounds.
- Inspect clipping at fixed headers and scroll containers.
- Verify that focus remains visible when menus or errors change the page.
Header behavior needed checks between desktop and phone sizes
Our navigation reviews considered the fixed header, link labels, compact states and the space available near the menu breakpoint. A clean desktop screenshot did not establish that anchors, menus and content remained usable at narrower sizes.
For this project gallery, the check focuses on gallery labels, project destinations and whether the imagery is actual work or an illustration. Test the transition widths and scrolled state, not just the widest and smallest layouts.
Repair the source, then check the published result
Provide a clear focus treatment and address clipping or overlap. Do not remove the indicator to imitate a cleaner screenshot; verify the user's actual route.
Record the visible focus result for this destination, then repeat the customer route until the example opens a correctly labeled detail and relevant next step. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.
