Day 41: How to write alternate text

On Day 40 we learned that images need alt text to be accessible.  It's also important to learn how to write helpful alt text.

How to write alt text:

  1. Write a phrase or sentence describing the image
  2. Describe the content of the image
  3. Include relevant context
  4. Include any text that is in the image

Tip: Imagine describing the image to a person in the next room, include those details
