Assessment for Statista by St. Clair - Module 3: Interface Structure

Submitted by kdaigneau@stcl… on
Can the purpose of each link be determined from the link text, or from the link text together with its surrounding context?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Can keyboard focus be moved to all page elements?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
If moving keyboard focus away from a component requires more than arrow or tab keys, is this clearly indicated on the page?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: Keyboard navigation uses the components described in the keyboard navigation section in third-party tools such as pressing enter to access drop-down menus and the spacebar to select a checkbox.
Is default keyboard navigation order logical and intuitive, following the visual flow of the page as described above?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The default keyboard navigation order is generally logical, following a left-to-right and top-to-bottom reading pattern. However, in the top menu, navigation moves from the search bar to the mail icon, globe icon, favourites, and my account before proceeding to the Statistics Menu, Reports, and other sections. This order is unusual because these menu items are positioned under the Statista logo but visually align with the right-side icons, creating an unexpected navigation flow.
When using a keyboard to navigate the interface, is the keyboard focus indicator visible?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: The keyboard focus indicator is visible. It appears as a board around the areas in either blue or white.
Does all interactive functionality work via keyboard, and does it behave consistently and as expected?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does focus order move sequentially across form fields?
Answer: Always
Score: 2

Are skip links (visible or invisible) positioned prominently near the beginning of the page?
