Resize images for the space they will actually occupy, use a modern web format where your workflow supports it, keep the important subject clear and add contextual alternative text in WordPress when the image conveys information.
What you’ll need
- Access to the account or information needed for the task.
- A few uninterrupted minutes to work through the steps.
- Your approved business/brand details where the platform asks for them.
How to do it
Choose the right source image
Start with an image large enough for the intended display area without using an enormous original unnecessarily.
Resize and compress
Export at sensible dimensions and compression for the intended website placement.

Use a meaningful filename
Describe the asset briefly before uploading rather than leaving a camera filename.
Add the correct alternative treatment
Informative images need useful contextual alt text; decorative images should normally use an empty alt attribute.
Check the finished result as a customer would see it. A technically completed setup can still give a poor first impression if the public-facing information is incomplete.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Rushing through the setup without checking public-facing details.
- Sharing passwords when the platform provides proper user or admin access.
- Leaving old information live after the business changes.
