Great Web Sites Download QuicklyThe last thing you want when a viewer checks out your web site is to get bored with waiting for all the content (images and text) to download. Do you wait when visiting a site all the time, or do you just simply go off to another, more responsive web site? So do your visitors. There are many ways you can enhance the download-time for your web site. First of all, remember that the smaller the images, the better - what looks simply smashing in 4 color magazine ads might take precious minutes to appear on a visitor's screen. There are tools which allow you to compress the final image size so your images look unchanged, yet load much faster. One place you might want to check out is Gif Wizard. Images can also appear in two types of formats called gifs and jpegs. Depending upon what the image type is (jpegs are better for photographs, while gifs are good for transparent pictures, simple images like the buttons on this page, etc.), you can optimize your download time further. Check out this resource for more information. The spirit of the Internet, however, is not solely selling (it's origins were for shared, wanted information exchange that didn't involve money). If your site contains only product information, what resource-value have you really added for your visitors? One of the best ways to get clients to your site is to provide something for free. |
