ARIA Label
An HTML attribute that provides accessible names for elements that lack visible text labels, helping screen readers describe interactive elements. These are essential for icon buttons, decorative links, and complex widgets where the visual context isn’t available to assistive technology. Use aria-label when there’s no visible text, and aria-labelled by to reference existing text on the page. See Improving Accessibility with ARIA Labels. See Optimizing images, icons & interactive elements.
Alt Text
Accessibility
Descriptive text added to images that screen readers and search engines use to understand image content. Good alt text describes content and purpose, not just its appearance — “Team celebrating product launch” is better than “people in office.” Framer lets you add alt text directly in the image properties panel. See How to add Alt Tags to images.
Focus State
Accessibility
The visual appearance of an interactive element when it receives keyboard focus, which is critical for accessibility. Focus states must remain clearly visible; do not remove them without providing an equally visible replacement. A strong focus style improves usability for keyboard and assistive-technology users.
Screen Reader
Accessibility
Assistive software that converts on-screen content into speech or braille for people with visual impairments. Good screen-reader support requires htmlsemantic HTML, proper heading structure, and clear labels. Testing with screen readers helps catch accessibility issues early.
Tab
Components
An interactive element allowing users to switch between content panels without leaving the page, saving space and organizing related content. Tabs work best for equally important parallel content, not sequential steps. Ensure tab interfaces are keyboard accessible with proper ARIA roles.
Boolean Operations
Design
Methods for combining shapes using union, subtract, intersect, or exclude operations to create complex vector graphics from simple shapes. These powerful tools enable creating custom icons, logos, and decorative elements without external software. Boolean operations are non-destructive in most design tools, allowing later modifications.
