Share the plan with designers, developers, or QA teams. Exports include all focusable stops plus any WCAG warnings noted above.
Interpreting AA vs AAA focus requirements
WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible (Level AA) expects every interactive element to expose a clear focus indicator with at least a 3:1 contrast ratio against adjacent colors. The enhanced Level AAA guidance raises the bar: focus cues should remain visible even when partially obscured, and high-contrast styles need to be persistent, not just on hover.
Use the Color Contrast Checker to confirm your outlines and glow states meet the ratio targets, then explore the Button Hover Effect Generator for ready-to-use focus ring recipes. Pair those resources with this planner to ship flows that feel effortless for keyboard and assistive technology users.
