This PR implements a micro-UX enhancement focused on semantic HTML and accessibility.

💡 What

  • Transitioned navigation from a brittle, JavaScript-dependent approach (div + onclick) to native semantic <a> tags.
  • Implemented high-contrast focus indicators for all interactive elements to support keyboard users.
  • Updated project metadata (lang="en") and accessibility labels (aria-label="Back to home").

🎯 Why

Semantic HTML improves SEO, enables native browser features (like "Open in new tab"), and provides much better out-of-the-box support for assistive technologies. Visible focus indicators are essential for keyboard navigation, and correct language attributes ensure screen readers use the right pronunciation.

♿ Accessibility Improvements

  • Semantic Links: Screen readers now identify navigation elements correctly.
  • Keyboard Focus: All links now have a glowing blue ring and transform effect when focused via keyboard.
  • Screen Reader Context: Added descriptive ARIA labels to navigation elements.
  • Language Correction: Fixed lang attribute to ensure correct screen reader voice selection.

📸 Verification

Verified using Playwright. Navigation works correctly, and focus states are visually confirmed in the generated screenshots.
