Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) — Question 61

Why is it important to implement a visible focus indicator throughout a website?

Answer options

• A. Blind users will need it to make their screen reader work.
• B. Deaf users need assistance with written content.
• C. It makes the site look professional.
• D. Sighted keyboard users have no other indicator of screen location.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as sighted keyboard users rely on visible focus indicators to navigate through the website. Without these indicators, they lack a clear sense of their current position on the page. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not relate to the need for focus indicators, while C, although it might be a secondary benefit, is not the primary reason for their importance.
