Image buttons missing alternative text on Wix

- People with motor disabilities

How to fix it
- Add an `alt` to the `<input type="image">` that describes the action (for example "Search"), not the picture.
Example
Before
<input type="image" src="/go.png">After
<input type="image" src="/go.png" alt="TODO: describe the action, e.g. Search">The alt text should describe what the button does.
On Wix
Click the image → Settings (gear) → "What's in the image? Tell Google" field is the alt text. Use "Mark as decorative" for decorations.
