Penn State: Health and Human Development
I worked on Penn State’s website off and on since 2018 as a continuous care client at Four Kitchens. Most recently, I refactored their main menu and top “tray menu” to be keyboard-friendly.
If you use the tab key on your keyboard, note:
- Tab-friendly top “tray menu” (Departments/Centers, Faculty/Staff Resources, etc)
- Tab-friendly main menu items and drop-downs
- When using tab keyboard navigation, each drop-down menu can be traversed, closed with the ESC key (last parent item gets focus)
- Menus have proper aria attributes to ensure screen readers properly communicate menu states
