Accessibility improvements #45

Description

In #44 I am making some preliminary changes to improve accessibility. This includes, so far:

  • Increasing the main div max-width to 1400px, which makes our screenshots easier to read.
  • Including title fields for all images, not just alt, so that users (who are not using assistive tech but may still be having trouble with our images) can mouse-over to get a description of the image.
  • Increasing the size of the code snippets (they were set at 75%).

Currently our link colours are too low-contrast and will need to be changed. (https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://omeka.org/classic/docs/Content/Items/)
WCAG requires:

  • 4.5:1 text-to-background contrast;
  • 3:1 link-to-regular-text contrast;
  • something like an underline that appears on hover or focus.

I wouldn't mind adding something else on non-hover links, maybe increasing the font-weight a bit, but there aren't any gradients between regular and bold with our font. Other suggestions would be great.
(I'll replicate our stylistic decisions here on to the S and .net docs later.)

I know the colours are a branding issue so I'd love some feedback there.
