Synopsis
Ensure alt text on header logo images in Experience Builder is correctly announced by Safari screen readers.
Technical Description of the Enhancement
In Experience Builder, the site header logo is added using an Image widget with appropriate alt text. However, in Safari, screen readers do not detect or announce this alt text. This indicates a potential compatibility or rendering issue in how Experience Builder exposes the alt attribute to assistive technologies.
The requested enhancement is to investigate why Safari screen readers are not recognising the alt text and to address any underlying Experience Builder issue that prevents alt attributes from being properly exposed.
Ideal Workflow
Screen readers—including those on Safari—should reliably announce the alt text assigned to header logos, ensuring users with visual impairments receive proper context and navigation cues.
Use Case and Business Impact
When alt text is not recognised, visually impaired users receive no information about the header logo, reducing navigational clarity and accessibility compliance. Fixing this issue ensures consistent behaviour across browsers, improves accessibility for all users, and supports organisational commitments to delivering fully accessible web applications.
