The integration of photos on your home and lower level pages contributes to the welcoming invitation that encourages your site visitor to look at some more pages on your site. The longer they stay, the higher the probability that you will make a sale.

Our client portfolio will offer additional examples of Special Graphics applied to various Web sites that we designed. Special graphics can be ordered as a standalone product or as a part of a larger project. It can be a good way for us to start our business relationship and grow from there as you enjoy doing business with us.

It is critical that the images you put on your Web site have been optimized for fast loading and improved clarity. "Heavy", slow loading images WILL quickly drive traffic away from your site. When very large images are needed to tell your story, we can apply more advanced methods to maintain reasonable "weights".

If you have been receiving complaints that your pages load too slowly, please allow us to do a demo of image optimization for the Web. We can use actual photos from your current Web site. As an example, see our Image Optimization Samples (170KB) page to see what image optimization can do for image clarity, speed of loading and just general improvement in the way your picture delivers its intended message.

Note: This page of samples will load slowly because it has heavy 'before' images as well as optimized versions of the same images.

From your page headings to your product shots, you add interest, clearer understanding and enjoyment to your visitor's experience with quality Web-optimized photos.
