Research direction

Start by reading explainer-cards.tsx and the CTA banner in page.tsx:50-54. Add the specified decorative SVG attributes and give the explainer cards semantic structure with a heading or aria-label; done means both components expose the intended information to assistive technology without adding an unnecessary link label.

Description

Severity: P3 — Accessibility

Two components lack proper accessibility attributes:

Explainer cards (`explainer-cards.tsx`)
  • No semantic landmark, no heading hierarchy
  • Icon SVGs lack `aria-hidden="true"`
  • Screen readers will announce raw SVG path data
  • Cards are invisible to assistive technology structure
CTA banner (`page.tsx:50-54`)
  • SVG icon has no `aria-hidden` or accessible label
  • The `` link has no `aria-label` beyond its text content (minor — "Get started" text is sufficient)

Suggested fix

  • Add `aria-hidden="true"` to all decorative SVGs
  • Wrap explainer cards in a `` with an appropriate heading or `aria-label`
