New Image Alt Tag Module

---

We’re excited to announce our latest ShopSite Add-on module:

Image Alt Tag Module
http://www.lexiconn.com/ecommerce/shopsite/alt-tag-module.html

This FREE add-on allows you to easily assign a product field such as Name, SKU, Extra Product Field, etc… to be used for every “alt tag” for your product images.

Alt tags are quite helpful when it comes to SEO, as it helps with on-page ranking, as well as making your images more easily searchable in Google Images.

The module can optionally publish/regen your store when it detects an alt tag has changed.

You can read more about the add-on module on our website at:
