Overview

As a developer, we need to provide clear and descriptive alt text on the SiteMap page page so that we adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and we can achieve our mission of inclusivity.

Action Items

[ ] Change the image alt property value within : pages/sitemap.html

From:

  <img class="header-hero-image" src="/assets/images/sitemap/sitemap-planning.svg"
        alt="image of a person using a computer and mapping out a website">

To:

  <img class="header-hero-image" src="/assets/images/sitemap/sitemap-planning.svg"
        alt="">

[ ] Ensure that the corresponding SiteMap page stays the same after the change
[ ] Using developer tools to inspect the image, ensure that the new alt text gets incorporated after the change.
- Note: alt="" in code while show up as alt when using developer tools to inspect the image's alt text property.
