A modern approach to browser support

In addition to standard dialog ARIA-roles, focus management is crucial if you wish to build a more accessible modal dialog.

A designer is wearing a bold patterned shirt and glasses. He is sitting with a woman with long dark hair. Both are smiling and looking at a screen on a desk. Two more laptop screens can be seen in the foreground while in the background is a blurred out studio office kitchen.

Which is why we prefer to tailor our approach specifically for you. Let’s discuss a collaborative partnership and how we can achieve the best outcomes together.
