CSS outline:none breaks keyboard accessibility sitewide

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Accessibility audits across multiple sites found three recurring patterns that break keyboard and screen reader navigation. The most common is removing focus indicators with outline:none, which fails WCAG 2.4.7. Other patterns include using non-focusable HTML elements for interactive components and missing ARIA labels on icon-only buttons.

Meridian48 take
These are basic, well-documented accessibility failures that keep appearing because teams prioritize visual design over inclusive user experience.
