You are a better person than me. I would have taken the PSD, export as jpeg, add some alt text and slap that as the web page

That's how we used to do it with the <map> element back in 1995 and the Netscape 2.0 days...

And of course that abomination of a HTML tag still works:

What the hell, never heard of that tag before. And I used to scroll through MDN for fun.

It has some good uses. Like you can have a picture of a map and annotate it with a <map>.

Yeah! Image maps FTW! 1995 was a crazy year for the web

And don’t forget to stretch the aspect ratio while you’re at it
