FE 0.3 bug(s): Fluid Engage an exhibition, home QA test plan

Hello,

I've been working on the alt text for the images. We unfortunately aren't getting any alt text in our data, but are using the image title instead.

Hopefully that will be okay, but if not could you recommend an alternative. One thing we were thinking would be to add a qualifier to it such as "Thumbnail of (image title". 

This should cover all museum related images with the exception of the one used on exhibition about page and the artifact view page.

The exhibition about page provides some more information about a specific exhibition, with the image being a representative of one of the artifacts from the exhibition.

The artifact view page is information about the artifact in the image.

On these pages is it necessary to have alt text on the image since the page is largely refering to it and if so what would you like to be there. 

Thanks for the help
Justin
