This pull request improves the accessibility and user experience of the main navigation menu button by updating its HTML structure and adding visual indicators for its state. The changes also introduce CSS for a menu icon that toggles between a hamburger (menu) icon and a close (X) icon based on the menu’s open state.

Navigation Accessibility and Visual Improvements:

  • Updated the menu button in BaseLayout.astro to include a visually hidden label (sr-only) for screen readers and a span with the menu-icon class for displaying the icon.
  • Added CSS in global.css to display a hamburger icon () by default and switch to a close icon () when the menu is open (aria-expanded="true").

Swaps to \u2630/\u2715 driven by the existing aria-expanded state, with the
accessible name preserved via a visually-hidden label.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Style
    • Updated the mobile navigation toggle to display a compact menu icon instead of visible “Menu” text.
    • The icon changes to a close symbol when the navigation menu is expanded.
    • Preserved screen-reader accessibility and existing menu controls.

Walkthrough

The mobile menu toggle replaces visible text with a decorative icon and a screen-reader-only label. CSS displays a hamburger glyph when collapsed and a close glyph when expanded. Existing menu control attributes remain unchanged.
