18. Research what Alt Tags and Title Tags are in HTML, and discuss how they improve SEO for your E-commerce website

Alt tags

The alt tag provides alternative details of an image if the image is not viewable. This tag is required for image element in HTML (w3schools, 2023). Google's image article mentions alt text as an important feature and plays a great role to identify the content of the image and surrounding text, resulting in higher SEO rankings (Valk, 2019).

We can see the alt tag for left hand thumbnail alt="Rishi Sunak" as an example from BBC website homepage.

Title tag
The title tag provides a title to a webpage for browsers and search engines which can only be used once in a webpage.
We can view the title tag of an article of BBC as an example.

(Mason, 2023)

We are going to review and compare 2 websites selling energy drinks. Firstly, we have  https://www.lucozade.com/ . The page features a minimal look with a large product image and clear description. The price and quantity are enlarged to gain attention of the user as it is one of the most important part of a e-commerce website. The product page also has a promotion banner with free delivery and another stating reliable delivery and easy returns. (Lucozade, 2023) Secondly, we have  https://www.yourcoca-cola.co.uk/monster-energy-12-x-500ml/  . The page is similar to the previous, however this page contains more information like reviews about the product by customers, subscription and discounts for subscription , recycling banner for packaging and a product overview about the item.   (The Hut.com Ltd, 2023) References   Lucozade (2023).   Lucozade Alert - Original 12 x 500ml» Lucozade .
