Web Design
The following are some extremely important tips to be noted by website designers to help with their artistic-technical combination. Although some may be taken lightly, others should be taken very seriously. It should be noted that not everyone can be pleased all the time, but you can work to make sure that most of them will benefit.Images do enhance a website’s overall look and efficacy, however, this is only within reason. Images should compliment a site, not overwhelm it. Remember that the majority of web surfers still use dial-up, so their connections may not be as fast as yours as a web designer. To make sure that your site doesn’t take too long to load, your images – together – should take up no more than an approximate 30k.
Keep in mind also that each image will create a separate HTTP request to the server, so if you list a ton of tiny images, even though they’re less than your allotted 30k, they will still slow down the loading of the page.
To help users along with images – especially slow loading images, or images that will not load due to computer settings or internet browser – take advantage of the ALT text attribute of the IMG tag.Navigation and practicality should come before art. The website design may be the most aesthetically pleasing on the World Wide Web, but if it is a struggle to navigate, it will never be successful.
