Accessibility Features

DiverDash is built with web accessibility in mind:

• Keyboard navigation -- All interactive elements (buttons, links, form fields, menus) are reachable using the Tab key.

• Focus indicators -- Focused elements display a visible outline so you can track your position on the page.

• Semantic HTML -- The interface uses proper heading hierarchy, landmarks, and ARIA attributes where appropriate.

• Color contrast -- Text and interactive elements meet WCAG contrast guidelines for readability.

• Screen reader support -- The interface is compatible with screen readers such as VoiceOver (macOS), NVDA (Windows), and JAWS.

• Responsive text -- You can increase browser zoom up to 200% without losing functionality.

Tips

• Use Tab and Shift + Tab to move through forms quickly without a mouse.

• Press Escape to dismiss modals and dropdown menus.

• If you rely on keyboard navigation, consider using a browser that provides strong accessibility support, such as Chrome or Firefox.

• Custom keyboard shortcuts may be added in future releases.

Troubleshooting
