This lesson goes over the key concept of always giving an image element an alternative attribute. The alternative attirube allows us to give a discription to the text. We learn that by giving our image an alternative text, this will help us if the image fails to load for whatever reason. Not only does it help us if the image fails to load, but it also aids those who rely on a screen reader when visiting websites. Making a site accessible to a broad audience is not only key and important but is now considered mandatory per HTML5 standards. Make sure to constantly give images good alt text descriptions. Short and descriptive alternative text is the best!
