Write helpful Alt Text to describe images ✎

Some people understand complex information best when it's presented visually, such as as a chart or diagram, while others find that reading the information suits them better.

When text is presented as an image of text, that limits peoples' ability to change the appearance of that text. So wherever possible, use text along with CSS to apply styling.

While accessibility for images often focuses on providing a text alternative for screen reader users, we can also look at the issue another way—providing a graphic alternative for text to make the underlying information or concept easier to understand.
