WEB DESIGN - ASSESSIBILITY

In order to make my website accessible to people with visual impairments, I have inserted alt text into all of my photos. These alt-texts include a summary describing the image's content, shooting technique, and location (optional).

According to Microsoft Office support, the alt text will be encoded by the specifications on the applications and they will be read aloud when the user uses the mode. Thereby alt text allows people to better understand what is on the screen.

Besides, with each photo, I also insert alt text in the form of an inspirational descriptive description, the meaning of the photo helps to reduce ambiguity and improve the user experience. I also add English captions and some other languages ​​to my videos to reduce misunderstandings for viewers and support users with hearing problems.
