Released Enhancements

Accessibility

We’ve upgraded the slideshow widget in Municipal Websites Evolve. This change brings several accessibility improvements and ensures a more reliable, predictable experience for users navigating with keyboards or assistive technology. You’ll notice:

  • Only the active slide’s interactive elements are focusable. This reduces confusion for keyboard users.

  • Carousel controls are hidden or non-focusable when there’s only one slide. This helps streamline navigation.

  • Pagination bullets now have clear, accessible names (for example, “Slide 1 of 3”) for screen readers.

  • Slide changes are announced to assistive tech, so users always know which content is active.
