Alt Text for Images
When you include images in your guides make sure that you have alternative text (alt text). There are two compelling reasons to use alt text on images in your guides:
-
Adding alternative text to photos is first and foremost a principle of web accessibility. Visually impaired users using screen readers will be read an alt attribute to better understand an on-page image.
-
Alt tags will be displayed in place of an image if an image file cannot be loaded.
-
This text is also used for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Add alt text to your image in the Image Properties window. Use complete descriptions for the image. For example, “Blue periodontology textbook” or “Map of Africa with malaria prevalence indicated in red”.
