Make Focus Visible in Framer
- Open your project in Framer and navigate to the page you want to review.
- Enter Preview mode and press Tab to see how focus appears on each interactive element. Note any controls where focus is missing or too faint.
- Return to the canvas and select the first element with weak or missing focus visibility (button, link, icon, input, or component).
- Open the right-hand Accessibility panel and verify:
- Focusable is enabled,
- The element has a label or ARIA label so the focus announcement is meaningful.
- Scroll to the Focus Indicator settings (inside Accessibility or under Design depending on the element type).
- Choose a strong, high-contrast focus style:
- Add a visible Outline (2–3 px, dark or bright color),
- Or apply a Focus Ring using the shadow controls,
- Or use a Background Highlight to signal focus clearly.
- For Buttons:
- Select the button → open Design,
- Increase border contrast or add a clear focus outline in the States section (Hover/Pressed/Focused).
- For Text Links:
- Select the text → confirm the link is applied,
- Open Design → enable underline or color change for Focus state.
- For Inputs and Form Fields:
- Select the field → open Design,
- Adjust the focused border color or add a glow to ensure the field stands out when focused.
- For Icon Buttons (hamburger, close icons, arrows):
- Select the icon → open Accessibility,
- Ensure Focusable is on,
- Add a clear focus outline or background highlight in the Design panel.
- For Custom Frames acting as controls:
- Select the frame → open Accessibility,
- Enable Focusable,
- Apply a border or shadow specifically for the Focus state in Design.
- Enter Preview again and press Tab through the entire page to confirm:
- Every interactive element shows a strong, consistent focus indicator,
- Focus never disappears against the background,
- All controls remain easy to track visually.
- Publish your project once all focus indicators are visible and consistent.
