Description

After running the automated axe dev tool scan on the React dev docs home page, there are 5 accessibility issues. These issues are simple and can be fixed by updating heading tags or changing color styles to reach acceptable color contrast ratios.

These fixes can be considered small wins and changes but create big impacts toward the site being more accessible for all users.
These fixes could be good first issues as well for those looking to make their first contribution or just want a quick and easy win. 😄
