 * Our website was checked for accessibility by a public institution. One of the
   most common defects was that the **icon elements did not have alt tags**. Is 
   there already a way to optimize the icon elements for accessibility with Jeg 
   Elementor Kit or can you please include this in an upcoming update?

 * Hello [@feuerwehrvockerode](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feuerwehrvockerode/),
 * We’re sorry for the delayed reply.
 * Could you tell us more detail about the alt tags that you referring to?
 * We have an option to add an image on the JKit Icon Box which you can add alt 
   tags for that image.
 * Thank you

 * It is not possible to work with the Alt attribute on icons, so it is suggested
   to use an ARIA label or text with font size 0 to make the icons readable for 
   a screen reader. I forward the translated suggestion below:
 * **Error description: **The icon has no visually visible text and has no text 
   alternative.
 * **Measure: **Decorative icon fonts (contain no information even for sighted people,
   e.g. snowflakes, balloons) must be hidden from screen reader users using a suitable
   technique (e.g. ARIA-hidden=”true). Information-carrying icons without visually
   visible labels (e.g. printer symbol ) must provide a text alternative. It is 
   not possible to store a text alternative using the alt attribute. Instead, this
   must be hidden using a suitable method, for example by using the ARIA label :
   none” should not be used as this cannot be read by all screen readers. The text
   alternative must be described in the main language of the page. However, information-
   bearing icons with visually visible labels do not require a text alternative.
   For example, a printer symbol with the text “Print” next to it.
