    <div class="accordion-panel__content">
      <h4>Title One</h4>
      <p>Description One</p>
    </div>
  </article>
  <article class="accordion-panel">
    <a class="accordion-panel__heading" href="javascript:;">Accordion Panel Two</a>
    <div class="accordion-panel__content">
      <h4>Title Two</h4>
      <p>Description Two</p>
    </div>
  </article>
  <article class="accordion-panel">
    <a class="accordion-panel__heading" href="javascript:;">Accordion Panel Three</a>
    <div class="accordion-panel__content">
      <h4>Title Three</h4>
      <p>Description Three</p>
    </div>
  </article>
  ...
</section>
