Accessibility (a11y) clean up (#138)

* Add hidden skip to content for keyboard a11y

* update green.900 value

used for button background; increases contrast ratio

* adjusts light primary to green.700 for contrast

Improves contrast ratio when paired with yellow.50 and removes browser a11y warnings

* add aria-labels

* add lang to html element

* fix improperly ordered headers

We should not be using headers (h4/h5) for these aside navigations. Updated to remove browser warnings.

* add remaining aria-label

* add aria-label for mobile menu
