Tab order customization

Keyboard tab order allows keyboard users to navigate a webpage effectively. When implemented correctly, a webpage will flow like reading a book. If done incorrectly, users may become confused or miss important content.

By default, the tab order on a webpage follows the sequence of links, buttons, and inputs based on their arrangement in the layers panel or markup.

Framer’s accessibility panel lets you set a custom tab order, making it easier to guide users’ attention to primary calls-to-action (CTAs) first.
