"It’s alt attribute, not alt tag
Ok people, time to get some basic terminology right. I’ve posted about this before, but here goes again: There is no such thing as an alt tag in HTML! It is an attribute which is required for images, and is specified in the img tag that defines an img element."

It’s alt attribute, not alt tag at 456 Berea Street
Usability, accessibility and SEO are all related and all work together.
Having an image based site may appear usable to the naked eye, but it creates accessibility and SEO isssues.
Relying on images using the alt attribute isn't going to add to the usability, accessibility nor the SEO of the site. There are many other factors that go into making a web page user friendly, accessible and search engine friendly.
If you study of each of these issues, you will find one thing for usability will also help accessibility and search engine optimization. And likewise if you start with one of the other areas, you will find the techniques learned also help the other 2 areas.
