check for grammar and punctuation — check for phrasing — online apps: useful tools for automated checks — read your text out loud to check on readability — ask others to proof-read and give feedback
final presentation on site ✔ image resized to fit layout, i.e. saved as largest size required ✔ final file saved for web, reducing file weight while keeping highest quality possible Never upload a file as-is, always check and optimise! Bear in mind that images are heavy and will slow down the loading time of your webpage. Only resizing and optimising will help lower the file size.
experience, as well as for SEO benefit, always edit the image details after upload! alternative text: summary of image content description: detailed description of image content ✔ DIGITAL PRACTICES REMINDER: INCLUSIVE DESIGN add text alternatives
copy of all content in editable format as backup ✦ save original as well as optimised images ✦ save all text as text files offline ✦ make note of the link to your chosen theme, and keep a copy of all theme files as backup TEXT stairwell stairwell castle towers stairwell castle towers stairwell stairwell stairwell stairwell PHOTOS js jpg svg php gif css THEME
