Adding alt-text to Images


Alt-text is the image description that allows search engines to understand the nature or contents of an image. It is not displayed on the live site and is not visible to your visitors.

Alt-text can be set up only if the image has been added as a standalone element or as a part of the gallery. It is also generally recommended to add alt-text only to the meaningful images on the site — those which actually relate to the services/ business represented.
