Summary
This PR addresses 3 accessibility violations identified by IBM Equal Access Accessibility Checker related to social media icons on website homepage. The fix simplifies SVG
<title>elements to match their visible label text, ensuring consistency between visual and accessible content per WCAG Level A requirements.Problem
The accessibility checker identified that accessible names for social media icons did not match their visible label text:
**Issue: **According to WCAG 2.5.3 (Label in Name), when components have visible text labels, the accessible name should contain or match the visible text. Adding "Logo" or "logo" creates a mismatch that can confuse users, especially those using voice control who say "click Twitter" but the accessible name is "Twitter Logo."
Solution
Simplified all SVG <title> elements to exactly match their visible labels by removing the "Logo"/"logo" suffix:
Fix After:

This ensures:
Testing
✅ Verified with IBM Equal Access Accessibility Checker
✅ All 3 accessible name mismatch violations resolved
