How to Make Website Menus Work With Touch, Keyboard, and Screen Readers

Menus often work with one input method but fail for users who rely on touch, keyboard, or assistive technology.

Checks to make

Ensure controls have clear names and states, support keyboard operation and touch targets, and expose expanded and collapsed status. Test focus order, Escape behavior, and mobile screen reader announcements across representative page templates.

When to get help

Accessibility review can assess menu behavior across input methods. Informatix Systems can assess the symptoms, evidence, and next steps. Contact Informatix Systems to discuss this issue.
