Digital Hall of Fame ARIA-Level Audit for Inductee Page Headings
A digital hall of fame ARIA-level audit is a structured review confirming that every heading element on your inductee profile pages—whether a native <h1>–<h6> or a custom element carrying role="heading"—exposes the correct hierarchical level to assistive technology through the aria-level attribute, so screen reader users navigating by heading can understand the page structure without relying on visual size or weight cues. The short answer for school administrators, athletic directors, IT teams, and recognition-program owners: open each inductee profile and each category or class-year section page on the platform; use browser DevTools to inspect every element that functions as a heading; confirm that any element with role="heading" carries an explicit aria-level integer reflecting its position in the page’s heading outline; verify that native <h1>–<h6> elements are not assigned conflicting aria-level values that would misrepresent the heading level to screen readers; test heading navigation with NVDA or VoiceOver to confirm the announced hierarchy matches the intended reading order; and repeat the audit after any platform update that introduces new inductee page templates or adds dynamic section headers.
