Maya gave up her mouse for one hour. Five seconds into her own website, she was lost.
So she ran the five-second test. Press Tab.
Can you see where you landed? A ring should hug one link or button. No visible focus — fail. Does the highlight travel in reading order? If it teleports around the page — fail. Open a popup. Can you leave with Escape? If Tab circles inside it forever, that is a keyboard trap — fail.
See it. Follow it. Escape it. Three checks, one key, zero cost.
💡 The scenario I shared is a fictionalized composite informed by patterns I've seen firsthand. The people are fictional; the accessibility barriers are real.
