SC 131 -- Heading missing proper markup (declined t&c)

Issue

The bolded text Is this a mistake? that acts as a heading, must have the markup of a heading. Currently it is just bolded via the strong element. The strong element has no voicing by a screen reader (i.e., there is no semantic communication the text is bold).

How do I know if it’s accepted?

Note

You may style the h2 however you'd like, but it must be a heading as it's serving the purpose and function of a heading.

WCAG

SC 1.3.1: Info and Relationships (Level A)

User impact

Non-sighted people that rely on screen readers to navigate webpages, use headings as navigation aids and to build a mental model of the page. Headings group and organize content. In this case, the link is directly related to the text "Is this a mistake?" and therefore, should have the programmatic markup to create that association.

Suggested fix

Current

<strong>Is this a mistake?</strong>

<strong>How do I know if it’s accepted?</strong>

Should be

<h2>Is this a mistake?</h2>

<h2>How do I know if it’s accepted?</h2>
