- Added keyboard support for dropdowns (Escape to close)
- Ensured all interactive elements are keyboard accessible

Screen Reader Support:

- Implemented ARIA live regions for dynamic content (toasts)
- Added aria-expanded, aria-controls for dropdowns
- Added aria-current="page" for active navigation
- Proper role attributes (navigation, search, menu, dialog, alert)
- Screen reader-only text for context (.sr-only class)

Visual Accessibility:
- High contrast focus indicators (4.5:1 ratio)
- Support for prefers-reduced-motion
- Support for high contrast mode
- Decorative icons wrapped in aria-hidden

Form Accessibility:
- All inputs have proper labels or aria-label
- Added aria-required and aria-invalid for validation
- Error messages announced to screen readers
- Proper form structure with semantic HTML

Content Structure:
- Skip navigation link for keyboard users
- Proper heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3)
- Semantic HTML elements (nav, main, section, article)
- Alt text for all images

Interactive Components:

- Dropdowns: aria-expanded, aria-haspopup, keyboard navigation
- Buttons: descriptive aria-labels for icon buttons
