# Make complex tasks feel straightforward.

UX & accessibility

Test navigation, forms, keyboard access and assistive technology support against real customer tasks.

## An approval task people can complete

Illustrative workflow.

- Understand: A clear title, status and required action
- Review: Evidence presented in a readable sequence
- Decide: Keyboard access and useful validation feedback



## Make complex tasks feel straightforward

Observe the task before designing the screen. Use information hierarchy, interaction prototypes and inclusive testing to make business software easier to understand and harder to misuse.

Illustrative scenario, not a customer case study.

A customer portal collects long applications from people using phones, keyboards and assistive technology.

Group related fields, associate errors with inputs and retain valid work after validation. Move focus deliberately when steps change and provide a review before submission.

Verification: Complete the whole journey using keyboard-only input, zoom and a screen reader, including correction paths.

## A polished interface still needs a usable journey

### A polished screen with hidden friction

Users still struggle to understand status, recover from errors or move through the task without a mouse.

### A journey tested with real inputs

Check comprehension, keyboard order, field labels and recovery behaviour alongside visual design.

## Make the next action understandable.

### Research the task

Observe how people complete the workflow and identify where they hesitate, repeat work or lose context.

### Interaction design

Design navigation, forms, errors and responsive layouts as one connected experience.

### Validate with users

Test keyboard access, readable content and assistive technology behaviour alongside task completion.

## When should accessibility enter the design process?

At the start. Content, navigation and interaction choices are easier to correct in a prototype than after every screen depends on them.
