Does it work in SEO?

Hi Dan, friends. If I don't need a big title for my design, I could consider it irrelevant because mainly I have images at least at home. Can I use an H1 with a good content, but with "display: none;". Does it work in SEO. Thanks in advance for your answer.

This is a much debated topic, but it's probably not a good idea to hide text using CSS.

According to Matt Cutts - the head of Google's web spam team, the best way to do it is with an Alt tag.

This seems to be the accepted way for accessibility and SEO purposes:

<h1>
  <a href="http://yourwebsite.com">
    <img src="logo.jpg" alt="Logo Text" />
  </a>
</h1>

Hope this helps :)
