What can I use instead of tabs?
If they're too long, then accordions are a better choice rather than tabs! Accordions placed on a horizontal space have too much space to accommodate long options and plenty of data, while on tabs if you choose long names as labels, they will look more or less like accordions only!
Are tabs good on website?
It's important to use tabs wisely. They can be a great tool to ease navigation and group related content, but sometimes a page benefits from being tab-less. An efficient, high-quality website needs an effectively structured navigation and tabs are certainly an option.
When should tabs be used?
Use tabs to alternate between views within the same context, not to navigate to different areas. This is the single most important point, because staying in place while alternating views is the reason we have tabs in the first place.
How do you use tab navigation?
Use the Tab key on your keyboard to navigate the options on a page. Use Shift + Tab to return to a previous option. Learning Environment highlights page elements that you can interact with (such as links, fields and buttons) as you tab through them, to make it easier for you to complete tasks and select options.
