Bootstrap 5 Considerations

KCC uses Bootstrap 5 stylesheet and JavaScript libraries. When using BS5 or another framework, it is important to review and follow their accessibility guidelines and best practices when implementing their components. For example, when building dynamic tabbed interfaces, <button> elements should be used (and not <a> elements) since the user is not navigating to a page but interacting with dynamic content.

Their are situations where KCC pages use background colors. This can cause issues when BS5's colors do not create enough contrast against the background. In these scenarios, the BS5 color should be overridden to provide adequate color contrast. You can manually check color contrast using Deque Universities' color contrast analyzer.
