The logo index link in the header should be updated to be more accessible than it is currently. Working with our PS accessibility resources, the image of the logo should have alt text instead of using aria-label.
Across the digital platform, the logo link image needs to have alt-text that is descriptive, such as "National Cancer Institute Homepage".
Expected Functionality
The logo link image on the header shall have the alt-text added to the <img src with text that is similar and appropriate for each logo. An example on the cancer.gov homepage is "National Cancer Institute Home Page"
Current Functionality
The aria-label is on the <a section of the logo and that is not the best practice for accessibility.
