Do not forget the importance of ALT Tags when looking for web design in Leicester, website design in the West Midlands, web design in Birmingham or anywhere in the UK

• ALT Tags, Alternative Text Tags are HTML tags that provide an image with alternative text.  This text usually appears within a box when you roll over an image with your mouse cursor.
• ALT Tags should describe an image, or what the image represents in order to enable visitors that use screen readers to fully experience what a website has to offer.
• ALT Tags also provide much-needed information for people who surf the Web with graphics turned off, and people who surf the Web with text-only browsers.
• They can also help in navigation when a graphics or image intensive site is being viewed over a slow connection, enabling site visitors to make navigation choices before graphics are fully rendered.
• Because search engines are unable to read images, ALT Tags can include keywords which can help with your SEO efforts.
