Definitely a +1 for the image descriptions. This is a pleasure to read with a screen reader. I haven't seen a website doing such a great job in ages. No one, except the BBC (which sucks at accessibility in other ways) and accessibility focused websites really does that. This guy deserves so much respect for this.

Take note, UI designers: In same crucial areas, you are far behind people writing HTML by hand.

I don't know where you get the idea there's a significant difference between these groups with respect to their attention to accessibility.

My experience is that accessibility to a site is inversely proportional to the amount of JS it contains.

And UI designers love having a lot of JS...

I wouldn't have known about them if you hadn't posted. Kind of a bummer Chrome doesn't show alt text on hover any more.

I think the one shown on hover is `title` text?

WebDev here, this is correct.
