WEB DESIGN IMAGES - RELEVANCE AND ATTRACTIVENESS
I recommend to add images or galleries to every webpage for your business web page design.
Did you know that having images and videos on every business web page not only makes your business website attractive, it also strengthens your keywords ranking in search engines?
Search engines detecting images and videos on webpages that are vying for the a particular set of keywords give them an advantage over webpages that have none or few images and no videos.
However, it is important to ensure that the images included in your business web design are:
Relevant to your business
Attractive to keep visitors engaged with your webpage content
Not overused and make your webpage too heavy, which affects loading time (chances of visitors deciding to cancel a slow loading page higher and which adversely increase your website bounce rates, affecting your keywords ranking in the long run)
Test your mobile and desktop page loading speed through Google Website Loading Speed Testing Tool.
Tip:
If you webpage has low mobile page loading speed and you have both images and videos on your website, go to your mobile website editor on wix.com and hide images. You may choose to display your main page video and main page image only and hide the other images and test again to check the mobile page loading speed. The most important aspect for your mobile website is the mobile friendliness test as this affects your keyword ranking and SEO.

SAVING IMAGES AS WEBSITE KEYWORD PHRASES
You have chosen your website images and are ready to upload your images to your website?
Wait. Do not overlook this important step!
Once you have selected the images that you want to upload to your webpages, change all the images filenames to keyword phrases that are relevant to the image and relevant to the webpages that you are about to upload them to.
Image SEO optimisation begins from these image filenames. Images should be of these three formats:
jpeg
png
gif
Here is a blog by wix.com that goes into more detail on this subject titled:
IMAGE TITLE, IMAGE ALT TEXT, IMAGE DESCRIPTION
After uploading your website image to your website, remember to add these 2 text for your image:
Image Title - Tooltip
Write this in a short phrase that best describes your image and insert a keyword phrase that relates to both the image and the webpage where you upload this image on. The image title is visible to the website visitor and must be written naturally for the visitor.
For example, the photo below (image title or tooltip is not filled-in) it could read as 'Man taking photo with a professional camera from a window' is the title chosen for this 'James Photography Services Website'
- where 'taking photo with a professional camera' is the keyword phrase
Image Alt Text
Also known as image 'alternative text', is an image text for google to understand what the image is about. This is the text that should include the related keyword phrase according to the image and webpage.
For example, the below photo it is written in a shorter phrase as 'Man taking photo with a professional camera - James Photography Services'
- where 'taking photo with a professional camera' is the keyword phrase and 'James Photography Services' is the brand and company name which includes additional keyword phrase of 'Photography Services'
This is where you will find it is useful to include a keyword or two for your company name (refer to Guide 002 - 4 Important Steps To Choosing The Best Business Website Address)
Here is the step described in wix.com for adding alt text to a website image.
Image Description
For wix image galleries, for wix.com website building and web design platform, you can also add additional text called image description. This can be about 2-3 sentences that provides a little more detail about your image. This can be read by the website visitor and also used by Search Engines for SEO.
Here is the step described by wix.com on how to add an image description for image galleries.
Online Shop Product Or Service Image
As described in Guide 003 (Types Of Web Pages To Consider For Your Business Websites - Refer to Services Page and Online Shop Page)
if you are running an online shop website, your image titles, image alt text, image description and all the information for a particular service and product helps you rank for that particular keyword phrase for that particular service and product too.
Think about what a potential consumer and client would type in the search engine to look for that particular service and product. Refer to Guide 001 on Web Design Basics: Choose Your Website Keyword Phrases for more information.
ADDING WEBPAGE LINKS TO IMAGES
For your web design images, you can also add webpage links which upon clicking, the web visitor is taken to another relevant webpage that is relevant to that image.
Note:
It is also important to inter-link your webpages on your website, also called internal linking and link juice for your website. As such adding links to your images to link to relevant webpages improves your website link juice and SEO, which strengthens you keywords rankings.
