ALT TEXT

Alt text is simple 

​

To add alt text to an image, write a short phrase describing what the image is. Don’t overthink this, simply write what is being depicted in the image or graphic. Some website building programs utilize AI that can write alt text for you. Using this feature can save lots of time in the long run, but it’s always important to proofread the text that is generated for the image before publishing the page.

​

Here is are some examples of adding alt text to an image:
