As a webdesigner, I wonder if a design where the texts is displayed only when your mouse is over an image would be impacted in term of SEO. (it would be almost all the texts, except on device without mouse)

For example: www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_image_overlay_fade
But with proper heading and paragraphs.

I think of many way to achieve that in a technical aspect, but I have no clue about the impact on the SEO.

Search engines look at page source, not the cosmetic aspect of a design directly*. Providing you are using CSS for your overlays and transitions, not scripting that hinders crawlers you will be perfectly fine.

Just be sure to provide correct HTML attributes such as Alt ( unless you're using a background image ), Title and make sure the text still has a good ratio over code. It's also worth noting that because your site maybe image heavy, optimise images and keep an eye on page loads with both:

developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ - Perceived page speeds (user experience) webpagetest.org/ - Physical Page speeds, server response times etc.


Especially on mobile/responsive view ports.
