Accessibility

The HubSpot CMS Boilerplate is in the process of being updated to account for accessibility. We will use a combination of Google Lighthouse, Axe, and manual testing to ensure there is a good starting point for accessibility. So far, we've made the following updates to the HubSpot CMS Boilerplate to account for accessibility:

1. Adding a navigation skipper to allow users who use the keyboard to navigate the page to easily be able to skip down to the main content of a page.
2. Removing aria hidden on drop down menu items. There is more work being planned to make the menu accessible but for the time being removing this will help with going through the navigation menu items.
3. Updating blog headers to flow in sequential order.
4. Improving the accessibility of blog images by making them images vs. background images (allowed for an optional alt text on images) and added an aria label on the article tag.
