Alt Text is a Science and an Art

Providing alternative text for images is one of the most universal and impactful things we can do for web accessibility. We tend to think that writing alternative text has clear rules.  But what defines a decorative image?  What characteristics should you describe when it’s a person?  Even the BBC and GOV.UK don’t agree in their guidance on best practices.  This webinar is for everyone, so we’ll start with the fundamentals and then dive into the nuance.  I don’t have all the answers, but I think talking about it will help us all write better alt text.
