IMAGE ALT TEXT

Alternative (or ALT) Text is used to visually describe a photo or image. It is different from an image file name and it helps visually impaired visitors “read” the image. ALT Text is important for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is important for your website’s accessibility. If you use a keyword rich description of the photo it can help Google to find you as well.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Exercise: Give your images an ALT text description.


Exercise: Look at the photos you’ve selected for your website and prepare short descriptions for your ALT text. Bonus points if you can make them keyword-rich descriptions.
