• find an image you have previously uploaded in Placecube or upload a new image

Adding alternative text (alt-text)

To add the alt-text, complete the field ‘Image Description’. 

Tips for writing alt-text 

• the ‘Image Description’ should be as descriptive as possible and state what the image shows
• this should be kept short at 125 characters or less.

There are two places to add a summary. The field under the title and in the properties bar You should populate both fields. 

• the summary will help the user to understand what your page is about
• write it in just one or two short sentences
• the summary will display on landing pages and in Google search results

• this is a mandatory field for choosing where your page is going to display on the website 
• It will help to familiarise yourself with the different landing pages for your service before you choose
