Using Bedford template - how to change page titles to use H1 tag instead of P tag

Site URL: https://www.ccflondon.ca/

We have a client using the Bedford template and they need to change the title styles on each page to use H1 instead of being wrapped in a <p> tag. We have not been able to find any options in the Design settings. Is this something we can change?

Hi. Change tag for SEO Purpolse or for Style?

Hi, the site doesn't meet accessibility requirements, here is a list of the issues that we can't find a solution for:

• it is missing a “Skip to main content” link on every page
• there is an empty link on each page that we can't remove: <a href="#" class="body-overlay"></a>
• the hamburger menu is missing the focus style when accessed using a keyboard
• full menu: we can't access subnav menu items using the keyboard (the nav menu does not expand when the keyboard focus is on a subnav item)
• The site should be using an <h1> tag instead of the <p> tag for page titles to support proper semantic markup.

Any help or advice that you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
