Hi Thomas,
I suggest using figure with blockquote and figcaption for these testimonials instead of sections. I don’t think you need the screenreader only headings on the testimonials
And make sure the strong paragraph is inside an actual paragraph. Strong is an inline element designed to be used inside a paragraph, not on it’s own
Similarly, the people’s names and verified shouldn’t just be in divs. If you choose not to go down the figcaption route, I would make the names into headings.
On the images “profile pic” is not good alt text. That needs to be the person’s name. A general tip is you never need words like image/picture etc inside an alt attribute as the element is already announced as an image.
I hope this is all helpful

@grace-snow I read up on MDN about figure and blockquote and adjusted. Good suggestion.
As for the profile pictures, I was still in doubt and after reading Jakes (Archibald) article about "Writing great alt text", I decided to hide the profile pictures from assistive technologies as they don't really add that much value (unless there was an elaborate description on the picture which I can't think of)
@thomashertog yep that's definitely a fair point ☺ I think it's valid to hide these images from assistive tech in this case, or use the person's name as the alt text. Either way works fine
