You're welcome Vsevolod.

I should add, I think it is always useful to begin any review by running an automated accessibility testing tool on the page. It will catch quite a few issues (somewhere around a quarter of them in my experience) and flag some suspected issues. I use aXe from Deque. You can download it for free and run it from the F12 inspector in the browser. It is simple to use and produces very clear results. It shows you the things that it knows are errors and points you to some other things that it suspects may be errors that you can check manually. It's a great start. It also links to further information and explanations which can be very useful in developing your knowledge of accessibility.
