Test instructions | Instructions pour tester la modification

No changes were made. Current implementation already correct:

1. Navigate to /welcome (Create a service page)
2. Verify "In trial mode, you can:" uses <strong> tags in source
3. Confirm screen reader properly announces emphasis
4. Check app/translations/csv/fr.csv line 2345 uses <strong> for both English and French

Finding: All instances use semantic <strong>trial mode</strong> tags. Searched:

• app/templates/views/welcome.html (line 14)
• app/translations/csv/fr.csv (line 2345)
• No <b>trial mode</b> patterns exist in codebase

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>7.2.2. Screen Name/Title: Create a service – Use of for semantic emphasis</issue_title>
<issue_description>Component: trial mode
Observation:
The <b> tag is used within the text to highlight "trial mode".
The <b> tag only provides a visual bold effect and does not indicate importance or emphasis to screen readers.

Recommendation:
Replace <b> with <strong>, which conveys semantic importance.
Example:
<strong>trial mode</strong>
