馃挱 Description

Issue

Focus indicators on buttons are barely visible, the contrast with the background should be improved.

"Go to console button" focused with a barely visible focus indicator

"Explore All technologies" focused with a barely visible focus indicator

Why it matters

People navigating via keyboard rely on focus indicators to see where they are on the page. Without these it is easy to get lost when tabbing through the page.

Suggested fix

Focus indicators should have a contrast ratio with the background of at least 3:1.

Find a suitable colour using the WebAim colour contrast tool.

One colour that could work is #fd366ebb if needing to use opacity.

Relevant Success Criterion WCAG

WCAG focus visible
WCAG focus appearance

Additional Notes

Good first issue, needs fixing site-wide.

Will you assign this one to me, please? Web Accessibility is my thing. Thanks.
