If you wanted to be daring, i'd create every functional bit of the page in normal text/html that way if the user dosen't want to wait for the fancier stuff (images) they can just proceed, no worries.
Which is why I always make text on a button actual text, instead of being written on the button image. That way they know what the button represents without waiting for the image.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
I make it a point to put text links below any graphical interface w/ multiple buttons. I'll put 1 text link for every button on the page. ALT img tags work also, and I use both.
However, I use ALT image tags to further describe the site, and use as many keywords from my meta tags as I can to help w/ SE relevance. If you've got a kick ass splash, you don't normally have room for a bunch of text... So, I compensate w/ Alt tags, and try to cram as much in those as I can.
