Improve Accessibility

Erik Allen

When using the review widget from Climbo, accessibility scores plummet. Climbo needs to go into their code and adjust the markup to include accessibility. This not only makes the experience better for those with disabilities, but it protects us and our clients from VERY costly lawsuits,

ISSUE # 1 - The grayed-out slider dots are actually buttons but don't have a discernable name. Aria labels should be added in order to give screen readers the ability to announce these are, in fact, clickable buttons.

ISSUE # 2 - The reviewer's name is listed as an H6 and should be converted to simple text. Lighthouse deducts points for heading elements that aren't non-sequential in descending order (H1, then H2, then H3, etc). Having these as a set H6 means that we as web developers HAVE TO find a way to add an H4 and H5 on any page that contains the widget so as not to be docked for non-sequential order. Converting the name to a simple text element will eliminate this issue.

This is a must. Have seen many small business sites get sued already. Please move this to the top of the priorities list.
