Hello @moopet , first of all, thanks a lot for taking your time out and giving me your valuable feedback.

  1. Reading -
    I agree with the font size. They are enormous. I checked my website on multiple displays. Previously, in the first few revisions, the text was tiny, which led me to add extra font size to the text. I will focus more on the text size and overall typography.
    Secondly, I am using font-awesome. Now it's evident that you didn't find any file in the code base, that is because it's not there. If you see the "find me on" icons, they belong to font-awesome.

  2. General -
    I am sorry that the colour of the link is misguiding. I certainly will work on that. Previously hyperlinks were active. Due to some reasons, I had to remove them. Thanks for pointing out.
    Also, isn't printing the whole page and viewing the page are two different things? Correct me if I am wrong. I have never made a printable website before. I will look it up and get back to you. It would be a nice feature to make the whole site printable.

  3. Accessibility -
    The accessibility score is not of a landing page. I calculated it before I added the landing page. Text size was the biggest concern according to the Lighthouse audit. And to fix that I had to add extra font-size.
    The icons are SVG and contain transparent background (you already know that). I don't think there's anything I can do about it. Also, I like it the way they are right now.
    On smaller screens, I have adjusted the height properly to keep the user focused on one content at a time. For example, contact us and then the main page.

  4. Possible improvements -
    As I mentioned in the todo list, I do need a better favicon. The current one is not at all relevant. Work in progress...
    Again, I am not sure if I need to invest money to have domain specific email address.
    Good point with the educational background. I don't need to my score anymore. I will work on that.

Again, thank you so much for your feedback.
