Accessible online stores: Why alt attributes are indispensable

Alt attributes are a key element of digital accessibility. They enable users with visual impairments to perceive content via screen readers and ensure that product images, buttons and graphics in online stores are accessible to everyone.

In addition to the improved user experience, alt texts are indispensable from a legal perspective: compliance with legal requirements such as WCAG 2.2, BFSG and EAA is mandatory for online stores. Missing or inadequate alt attributes can lead to warnings and loss of reputation.

Coming soon: easyAI: AI-supported automation for legally compliant alt texts

easyAI, a new function for SiteCockpit that radically simplifies the creation of alt attributes, will be available from January 2026. The AI analyzes image content and automatically generates precise, compliant alt texts - with just one click and directly in your SiteCockpit backend.

This not only ensures the accessibility of your offer, but also minimizes the manual maintenance effort and reduces the risk of legal complaints. easyAI integrates seamlessly into the existing SiteCockpit platform and supports you in breaking down barriers in the long term.

What else SiteCockpit can do

SiteCockpit is more than just a solution for individual accessibility requirements.
