  • Semantic Markup & Roles: Structured sections using proper HTML5 semantic tags, unique primary navigation landmarks, and hierarchical heading structures (H1-H6).
  • Form Labels & Control Associations: Linked all search and contact forms, inputs, selects, and checkboxes with explicit labels and unique IDs to ensure clear narration by screen readers.
  • Text Alternatives: Eliminated raw filename alternate text tags on images and replaced them with human-readable instrument descriptions. Hidden decorative icons using ARIA attributes to prevent screen reader clutter.
