Hi Mark, I agree accessibility and usability go hand in hand. However,
changing the alt text (it was actually descriptive on the test site)
still means the link descriptions are different.
I simply mentioned it as an example of a situation where the linked
image wasn't working well from a usability or an accessibility
perspective for one person. Has anyone else had this sort of feedback?
Cheers,
Sandra.

Hi, interestingly, one of my testers who uses a screen reader recently
suggested taking the link off the logo in the head mast and the
reasons made sense
* the img alt text read 'logo' but the link went to home
* there was already a clear text link to home on the site, so this
meant a second link to the same destination but called something
different
Cheers,
Sandra.
