Change alt text for Palms neighborhood council image in citizen engagement html file

[SAUMILDHANKAR]

Overview

We need to ensure that alt text for images adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). For this issue, we will change the alt text for the Palms neighborhood council image on citizen engagement page.

Details

Designers and PMs identified that some alt texts in the Citizen Engagement 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.

Action Items

• For the file pages/citizen-engagement.html, change line 51 for the alt text:

from

<img class="org-img" src="/assets/images/citizen-engagement/palms_neighborhood_council.svg" alt="palms neighborhood council logo">

to

<img class="org-img" src="/assets/images/citizen-engagement/palms_neighborhood_council.svg" alt="Palms Neighborhood Council">
