This PR improves the accessibility and semantic structure of the Interactive Sketches project.

💡 What: The UX enhancement added

  • Replaced JavaScript-driven div navigation with semantic <a> tags for all main project cards and "Back" buttons.
  • Updated the HTML lang attribute to correctly reflect the English content.
  • Added explicit :focus-visible styles to provide clear visual feedback for keyboard users, matching the existing hover animations.
  • Cleaned up obsolete routing logic in script.js.

🎯 Why: The user problem it solves

  • JavaScript-only navigation is inaccessible to screen readers and prevents standard browser features like "Open in new tab".
  • Missing focus indicators made the site difficult to navigate via keyboard.
  • Incorrect lang attribute could confuse assistive technologies.

♿ Accessibility: Any a11y improvements made

  • Semantic HTML: Navigation now uses proper link tags.
  • Keyboard Nav: Users can now clearly see which element is focused when tabbing.
  • Language: Corrected document language metadata.
  • Valid Nesting: Removed interactive elements from inside links to prevent focus traps.

- Convert landing page cards from `div` to semantic `<a>` tags.
- Convert nested `<button>` elements to `<span>` to avoid invalid nested interactive elements.
- Convert sub-project "Back" buttons to semantic `<a>` links.
- Update `lang="es"` to `lang="en"` in `index.html` to match content.
- Implement `:focus-visible` styles mirroring hover effects for better keyboard navigation.
- Remove redundant manual navigation logic from `script.js`.
