ImagesWe have to describe digital images with alternative (alt) text. This is essential for accessibility, as it ensures that visually impaired individuals using screen readers can understand what an image is trying to portray. Alt text also enhances search engine optimisation (SEO) by allowing search engines to index images, making content more discoverable. Additionally, it provides context when images fail to load, ensuring that the message remains clear and accessible to all users. See also Alt Text. | ||
