 * Hi great plugin thanks for making it. We get auted for accessibility and i noticed
   the plugin has images for social media icons and spacer images and all of the
   mdont have an alt tag to describe them. This throws up issues for screed reader
   users, coudl we added alt text to the images or nul alt text telling them to 
   ignore it.
 * If you dont know how to test use wave accessiblity checker google it.
 * example of it in use is here

 * You can add alt tags by yourself in the file named frontend.php (in public folder).
   
   Lines 191, 198, 205, 212, 219, 226, 233, 240, 247 & 254.
 * I’ll add alt tags in the next release.
