Description
The header/navigation components currently lack proper ARIA attributes for improved accessibility.
Current State
Navigation links and menu buttons don't have:
aria-label attributes (for icon-only buttons)
aria-expanded attribute (for hamburger/toggle menu)
role attributes on custom menu elements
Suggested Changes
Add accessibility improvements to:
- Header.js: Add
aria-label to hamburger menu button, aria-expanded state
- Navigation list items: Add proper
role attributes if using custom elements
- Close button (if exists): Add
aria-label
Example
// Before
<button onClick={toggleMenu}>☰</button>
// After
<button
onClick={toggleMenu}
aria-label="Toggle navigation menu"
aria-expanded={isOpen}
>
☰
</button>
