If the images are in the CSS, then there's no need for alt attributes.
Conversely, if you believe an image should have alt text, then it
shouldn't be in the CSS as a bg-image.

If an image is for aesthetic purposes, it should be in with the CSS.
If an image is to be used as part of the content, for example, the image
of your wife, then it should be within img tags.
I would say that is common sense to be honest. If you turn of the CSS
