Alt text for accessibility
Describe an image once and Atelier uses it everywhere — accessible pages, no per-page busywork
Alt text is a short description of what an image shows. Add it once, and Atelier uses it automatically wherever the image appears.
Write it once, on the image
Open an image in the Library and add its alt text in the editor rail. You describe the image on the image itself — not on every page that uses it. For Fernway Botanical Studio, the shop-front photo might read "Fernway's storefront window filled with hanging ferns and monstera."
Because the description travels with the image, every page that shows it inherits the same alt text automatically. Reuse the photo on the homepage and the About page, and both stay described.
Why it matters
- Screen readers read your alt text aloud, so people who can't see the image still understand it.
- Search engines use it to understand what your images show, which helps your pages surface.
- Fallback text appears if an image ever fails to load.
Let the agent draft it
The agent can help you describe an image. Ask it to look at an image and it drafts alt text into the editor rail for you to review and save. It can also propose a friendly name for the image at the same time.
The agent proposes; you approve. A drafted description sits in the editor rail until you review and save it — you stay in control of the words that describe your site.
Tip
Good alt text describes what the image shows and why it's there, in a sentence — not "image123.jpg." Let the agent draft it, then tighten it in your own voice.
