Focus outlines highlight the active interactive element on a web page. They're crucial for accessibility, especially for keyboard users and those with motor impairments. If you ever tried navigating a website without a mouse, you can imagine how frustrating it is when you can't see where you are.
Unfortunately, focus outlines are often overlooked in web design. Clients and designers might not even notice them, leaving developers to handle design and implementation. Some might even suggest removing focus outlines for a cleaner aesthetic.
When we treat focus outlines as essential design elements rather than afterthoughts, we create interfaces that are both beautiful and inclusive. You can use browser defaults or create custom outlines for interactive elements.
Most accessibility experts recommend custom outlines for better visibility. Looking at the default outlines across different browsers, I have to agree. They're inconsistent and often too subtle.
