This means users should be able to move between elements using the Tab key, activate buttons with Enter or Space, and use arrow keys where appropriate (like in dropdown menus). Avoid keyboard traps that lock the focus on a single interactive element. Also, maintain a logical tab order so users can navigate through the page in a predictable way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a6e1a14 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a6e1a14\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-987e709\" data-id=\"987e709\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dca551c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dca551c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Correct use of semantic HTML and ARIA roles<\/h3><p>Semantic HTML is the foundation of accessible websites.
