Solo Entrepreneur Website Creation: A Checklist for Image Rights and Alt Text

Solo Entrepreneur Website Creation: A Checklist for Image Rights and Alt Text Solo Entrepreneur Website Creation: A Checklist for Image Rights and Alt Text

Decide what the site needs to do

Before starting website creation, write down the site’s main purpose in one sentence. If it is “introduce my products and take orders,” you may need store features. If it is “explain my service and how to contact me,” a basic website may be enough to start. TalkTalkMySite offers no-code templates, AI chat, and visual editing, so you do not need coding or design experience to begin. You still need to decide what the site says and check the finished result yourself.

Choose a plan according to the intended use: Basic is for a website, Standard is for a store, and Premium is for multilingual use. Payments, social login, domains, and shipping each require setup; selecting a plan does not configure them automatically.

Checklist: prepare images and copy

• [ ] Collect only images you took yourself or have permission to use. An image being visible on another website does not, by itself, mean you have permission to publish it. Check the permitted scope and conditions with the provider or rights holder, and keep a record of what you confirmed.
• [ ] Sort images by product or service and note which page each one belongs on. Permission to use an image and whether it suits a particular page are separate checks.
• [ ] Write alt text for each relevant image. Briefly convey useful information to visitors who cannot see the image. Avoid adding needless descriptions to decorative images. For a product image, describe a visible feature someone can verify from the image. Do not force keywords into alt text repeatedly.
• [ ] Gather your business name, description, contact method, operating information, product details, and common questions in one document. Recheck details that can change—such as phone numbers, prices, or opening hours—before publishing.

Review the layout and features

After choosing a template, check that headings and buttons are readable on a phone and that visitors can tell what to do next. Use AI chat or visual editing to help draft the site, then personally review the wording, image permissions, layout, and business details. Automated editing does not eliminate mistakes or guarantee search rankings or sales.

If you are creating a store, check product information and configure payments and shipping to match how you will actually operate. Set up social login separately if you need it, and check the status if you plan to connect a domain. Until each feature is ready, avoid wording that could make customers think it is already available.

Hypothetical example and next step

**Hypothetical example — a solo maker selling handmade notebooks:** Use product images you took yourself or have confirmed you may use. For alt text, briefly describe visible features, such as the cover color or binding. First decide whether to make an introductory site with Basic or prepare a Standard store to accept orders. If you choose the store, configure payments and shipping separately. This is an illustration, not a promise of results.

Your three tasks for today: write the site’s main purpose in one sentence, create an image-permission record and draft alt text for each image, and list the plan and settings you will need. Then preview a page with real content and fix missing information or awkward layouts. Do not plan on unlimited free use or a mistake-free build; keep checking the content both before and after launch.
