How to Make Website Focus Indicators Visible on All Backgrounds

11/11/2026

Keyboard focus may disappear against images, gradients, or theme colors even when a CSS outline exists.

Checks to make

Test keyboard navigation across page templates, overlays, and responsive states. Check contrast and clipping of focus indicators, avoid removing outlines without replacement, and verify visible focus for links, buttons, and form controls.
