Description

This change updates the Contact page heading from an <h1> to an <h4> as per design and accessibility requirements.
Although the original heading visually did not resemble an <h1> due to styling, the semantic markup still used <h1>, which was flagged during inspection.

Changes Made

  • Replaced <h1> with <h4> for the "Get in touch with the team" heading.
  • Added a .page-heading scoped style to preserve the previous visual appearance while aligning with the correct semantic hierarchy.
  • Scoped CSS ensures mobile responsiveness (smaller font size on viewports ≤480px).

Reasoning

Per T401820, the heading level on the Contact page should be <h4>.
This improves semantic structure, accessibility, and consistency with other page sections.

No other functional changes were made — form fields, bindings, and logic remain the same.

Impact

  • Accessibility: Better heading hierarchy for screen readers and document structure.
  • UI: No visual changes for users — heading style preserved.
  • Code Quality: Corrected Vue binding syntax for :items where applicable.

Testing

  • Verified in browser dev tools that the heading now renders as <h4>.
  • Checked responsive design to ensure heading looks consistent on desktop and mobile.
  • No regressions in form functionality.

Thanks for contributing, it's great to see students getting involved in open-source projects!

That said, I’m not happy with how this PR has been put together. It reads like it was generated largely by an LLM, with minimal input or review from you. The goal should be to use such tools to help you understand and improve skills, not to hand off the task and submit the output as your own. Using an LLM might speed you up, but it slows maintainers down when we have to correct its mistakes - if we wanted an LLM to write PRs, we’d do that ourselves.

From the PR description:

This improves semantic structure, accessibility, and consistency with other page sections.

Accessibility: Better heading hierarchy for screen readers and document structure.

As mentioned in my Phabricator comment, I don't believe that to be accurate. In fact, changing this title from h1 to h4 reduces semantic correctness and accessibility, especially since it would place an h4 before existing h3 and h2 tags in the document structure.

I would much prefer to see a concise, accurate commit message that will live with the repository forever, rather than an overly verbose and incorrect PR description. PR descriptions last only as long as the repo is on GitHub. The PR description should either supplement the commit message with useful review context, or simply repeat it if there’s nothing more to add.

Let's see what UX responds with on the Phabricator ticket. There may still be some styling changes that you (not an LLM!) can implement directly, and I'm happy to review those.

We should use the classes that come with Vuetify v2 where possible, rather than defining our own custom classes and CSS that we will have to maintain. See these relevant docs:

<v-select
:items=items
:items="items"

For future reference, please keep changes in a PR focused on a single topic. Unrelated code quality or formatting fixes should be submitted separately, so changes are easier to review and track. As this is a small change and doesn't hinder the review, I'll let it slide!

I'm not sure if this is a requirement UX has asked for, and I've not seen it elsewhere in the code base.
