Aid Those who Can't See Images One of the easiest ways to make your page viewable by more people is the addition of the ALT tag when it comes to graphics. The ALT tag allows those without graphic-ready web browsers (or those who have graphics turned off in their web browser) to see text where the graphic would be instead of nothing at all. Simply add ALT="your text here" inside the <IMG> tag, or check your HTML-editing software for more information about adding descriptions to images. It just takes a couple of seconds to add an ALT tag to your images, but it can mean so much for your web visitors.
For those who do not or cannot using ALT tags: Especially if your images are for navigation, you may want to place text-only navigations links throughout your site. This way, text-only users will still be able to move around your pages.
