Questions on SEO for my site.
 

My questions are,

for my navigation on my site, I was thinking of using photoshop to make up a navigation bar, but would it be better to just have a simple nav bar using links instead of images? What if I use the alt tags for the images in my nav bar, would that make up for it?

Also, is it best to use the alt tag for every image on the same page, to just put the same keywords in the alt tag that my meta keywords tag has for my page?

I hope this all makes sense, I'm relatively new at this.

Thank for the time.

Navigation with CSS and text is much more easier to edit, it reduce bandwidth loading and more friendly for search engine.

Search engine cant recognize every single images, by inserting ALT and title tag to your images, it is easier for search engine to listing your images in images search.

Yes create a navigation bar from divs.

While creating the website, its important to pay attention to load time and also try make it more SE friendly in order to ensure its SEO effective.
