Accessible navigation is good everyday design for South Africa

Use recognisable labels

Name pages according to the information visitors expect to find. A creative label can be confusing if its meaning is unclear. Keep the main navigation focused and provide deeper links within relevant service pages.

Support more than a mouse

Visitors may navigate with a keyboard or assistive technology. Interactive controls need meaningful labels, visible focus and predictable behaviour. A menu should not depend only on hovering over a small target.

Make mobile menus practical

Ensure the open and closed states are clear and the controls are easy to reach. Avoid long menus that hide important links below excessive nesting. Test with real page names, including the longest service title.

Check the whole route

Try reaching a service, reading a guide and finding the contact form without using a mouse. Record where focus disappears or a control becomes difficult to understand. Fixing those points often improves the experience for everyone.
