💡 What: Added alt text to images and ARIA attributes (role="img", aria-hidden="true") to decorative SVG icons.
🎯 Why: To improve accessibility for screen reader users by properly identifying images and hiding decorative icons that have adjacent text labels.
📸 Before/After: Visuals are unchanged, but accessibility tree now correctly identifies these elements.
♿ Accessibility:

  • industry_icons SVGs are now hidden from screen readers to avoid redundancy.
  • Avatar and Logo images now have descriptive alt text.
  • Topography background is explicitly marked as decorative.
