Color contrast, image headers, link behavior, and the small interface choices that determine whether a page works for everyone.
Check contrast where it actually appears
Color contrast can look acceptable in a design file and fail on the real page, especially when text sits over image headers, gradients, or textured backgrounds.
A contrast checker should be used against the actual foreground and background colors users see, not the idealized palette values.
Image headers need extra care
Text over imagery is fragile. The image crop can change, responsive layouts can move the focal point, and a bright part of the image can sit directly behind important copy.
If a header depends on an image, the design needs a predictable treatment that keeps text readable across screen sizes.
Opening a new tab should be intentional
Opening links in a new tab can be useful for documents, external resources, or workflows where losing the current page would be disruptive.
It should not be a default habit. Unexpected new tabs can confuse users, especially people navigating with assistive technology.
