Alt Text
Alt text is a short written description attached to an image. Screen readers read it aloud to people who cannot see the image, and search engines use it to understand the picture — so it serves both accessibility and SEO.
Why does alt text matter to your business?
Alt text makes your images usable for people relying on screen readers and helps search engines index them, which can bring extra traffic through image search. It is a small effort with a double payoff in accessibility and discoverability. Missing it quietly excludes people and search value.
At Nabee, meaningful alt text is part of building accessible, discoverable pages. Because the same team designs and builds, it is written as content is added rather than discovered as a gap after launch.
A concrete example
Product screenshots on an app's page each get clear alt text, so a screen-reader user understands them and search engines can index them. That inclusivity and visibility come from a small, deliberate habit.
