Lab of Ornithology: Issue

Project Lab of Ornithology
Scope Sponsorships
Target
Sponsor logos
Description
Alt tags on sponsor logos are inconsistently and sometimes inadequate (e.g., "logo" for Wild Delight, and empty alt tag for 3-D Pet Products)

Applicable Guidelines

Guideline Observations Recommendations Testing Actions
Guideline 1 Informative and grouped images must contain alternative text describing the purpose or meaning of the image(s). (Fail)
1.1.1 Non-text Content
The sponsor logos must have descriptive alternative text that accurately conveys their purpose or meaning. Ensure that each sponsor logo has a meaningful alt attribute that describes the brand or organization represented by the logo, rather than generic terms like 'logo' or leaving the alt attribute empty. Use a screen reader or WAVE extension to verify that each logo has appropriate and descriptive alt text.
