Make Focus Visible - Webflow

Make Focus Visible in Webflow

1. Open your Webflow project and go to a page that includes interactive elements such as links, buttons, form fields, and custom triggers.
2. Select an interactive element (e.g., a button or link) on the canvas.
3. In the Selector field, confirm you are editing the correct class. If the element has no class, click “+” and assign a descriptive class name (e.g., “Button–Primary”, “Link–Nav”).
4. Open the Style panel and scroll to the States dropdown above the style properties.
5. Click the dropdown and choose Focused to style the element’s focus state.
6. Add at least one clearly visible focus indicator, such as:
   • a solid or outline border (e.g., 2–3px in a high-contrast color),
   • a background color shift,
   • an outer glow or box-shadow ring (e.g., 0 0 0 3px #000 or #fff depending on contrast needs).
7. Ensure the focus style meets contrast needs by verifying the indicator clearly stands out against the background in both light and dark contexts.
8. Repeat steps 2–7 for all other interactive elements, including:
   • form fields (inputs, selects, textareas),
   • buttons and links,
   • dropdown toggles, sliders, and custom interactive divs.
9. For components using Interaction-only elements (e.g., divs acting as buttons), ensure they have a visible focus class applied. If necessary, create a utility class such as “.focus-outline” and style its Focused state, then apply it to all such elements.
10. Enter Preview mode and press Tab to move through the page, confirming each element visibly shows its focus state.
11. Publish the site and test again on the live site to ensure all focus indicators appear consistently across browsers.
