Web Design incorporates a lot of knowledge that can make or break a web site. It's pretty simple.... Large images with high graphics create slow download times which turn away visitors and potential sales. Does this mean that you have to compromise your web design? Of course not. All you have to do is strike an easy balance!
Ideally, a web designer could use the highest quality images and have an instant page download. As mentioned earlier, fast page loading requires small file sizes for pictures. Sadly, there is a trade off between picture quality and file size.
Web browsers are known to lack patience when browsing a web site. If a page takes too long to download, then your visitor will most likely leave the site and visit a competitor.
Most computer monitors can only display images at 72dpi (dots per inch). Step one: reduce the image resolution to 72 dpi. Large photos can be cut up into smaller images and the put back together on the actual web page. Each photo piece will be a tiny file and will load in a fraction of the time a single image file would load.
Most graphic files possess critical data regarding the color palette of the image. This information is not usually a necessity for displaying on the web. Many graphic programs included the ability to “Save for the web”. This option removes all of the unnecessary information in the file without any loss of picture quality.
