<link rel="stylesheet" href="/f_scripts/shared/responsive.css">
```

### 2. Include JavaScript

Add before closing `</body>`:
```html
<script src="/f_scripts/shared/theme-switcher.js"></script>
```

### 3. Add Skip Links

Add at start of `<body>`:
```html
<div class="skip-links">
  <a href="#main-content" class="skip-to-content">Skip to main content</a>
</div>
```

### 4. Add Main Content ID

```html
<main id="main-content" role="main">
  <!-- Your content -->
