Today’s Fact of The Week, we are looking at the WCAG Guideline – 2.4.7 – Focus Visible.
It is important to make sure that a visible focus indicator can be seen by everyone, especially low vision users who rely solely on keyboard and switches to navigate a website.

Today is World Voice Day, a day to recognise mutism and stuttering and bring awareness to the difficulties that some people go through if they experience this.
