Okay - that makes sense.
It's been a while since I looked at things like this but have you done simple stuff like check whether the colour contrast ratio [0] meets WCAG standards?
What about making the orange highlight work when tabbing through the website with the keyboard?
What about having a Skip Navigation / Skip to Content link? [1]

- schemathings 8y agoI find their recommendation skipnav somewhat ironic - pages on that site with any sizable contents don't show any actual content until after the fold on my macbook, e.g. https://webaim.org/techniques/css/invisiblecontent/ https://webaim.org/techniques/css/invisiblecontent/ .. the entire first page consists of various forms of navigation.
- jazoom 8y agoYes I keep those things in mind while developing. I may have missed one here or there, especially in any code from my early days of development. Thanks for the link about "skipnav" I haven't heard that term before. I don't really see how that can fit in, though? I guess the category links right at the top of the page is the closest concept? It doesn't make sense to skip down to item number 200 since there's no way to know what's down there. Best to look at items 1-199 first. That is the same for all users.
- voltagex_ 8y agoIt's exactly to skip to the main block of content - every item in the nav menu may be read out individually (or at least needs to be tabbed through) otherwise.
- jazoom 8y agoOh I understand now. It's skipping the menu itself. I don't know why I misread (skimmed) the link you posted. Yeah, I can see why that's useful. I'll add it to my to-do list to look more into that. Thanks!
