Dependency
Overview
We need to ensure that alt text for images adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). For this epic, we will write issues to change the alt text for the images in the SiteMap page which will then be added to dependency items above.
Details
Designers and PMs identified that some alt texts in the SiteMap page should be changed because they are either inaccurate or too long. Ideally, alt text should be descriptive but short and succinct. According to the WCAG page, an accompanying alt text should be short. Additionally, the Functional Accessibility Evaluator (FAE) recommends for alt text to be no more than 100 characters.
