Builder brands: Adding Alt text to images within the Express editor

Adding alt text to images on your website is a great way to make it accessible to all visitors and boost your ranking on Google. All photos added from our free photo library will automatically have alt text added. Still, we provide you with the freedom to add and edit alt text on all images selected or manually uploaded. 

  1. Log in to your Account Manager via https://www.networksolutions.com/my-account/login.
  2. Select Websites on the left menu, and you will be routed to a different tab where you can access your website editor.
