Screenshot

Actual Results
The heading structure is found to be inappropriate on the "create a branch" page. Text such as "create a branch" is coded as h2 inappropriately which does not match the visual hierarchy on the page.
As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page's content structure.
Expected Results
Use heading levels as per specification such as <h1> should be followed by <h2>, <h3> and so on. It is recommended that the discussed issue be addressed as screen reader users rely on headings heavily to understand the page structure. Provide the appropriate heading structured such as <h1> for the text “Create a branch”.
