Text Is King!
Are you building your website? If so, STOP! Take a look at what you have done so far. How many images do you have? How much text do you have? If your website has more images than text then you could be in trouble. Ask yourself these two questions What are my visitors at my website for? Chances are, your visitors cam to your website to find information on a topic or to answer a question. They probably didn't come to look at pictures (unless you run a photo gallery). Give your visitors what they want and they will keep on coming back. Why did I put all these images on my website. Now, this is not always true, but what I have found is that people put a lot of images on their website to make up for poor quality content. They think if they have a pretty looking website, people won't pay that much attention to the text. That is another wrong assumption that should never be made. REMEMBER: People come to get quality content, and will leave if you don't provide any REMEMBER: People come to get quality content, and will leave if you don't provide any REMEMBER: People come to get quality content, and will leave if you don't provide any If your website has more text than images, good for you, keep up the good work and good things will come to you.

Custom Icons For Your Specific Brand
Developing a software application is not easy at all; apart from the effective creation of the application you'll have to think of other things as well, like: making the software easy to work with, giving it a unique and appealing look, making it better than other software, etc. Apart from the qualities of the application, these little things are the ones that promote your software application among the end users. If the application is easy to use, has a friendly user interface, the look of the program is unique yet not too flashy a lot more people will want to have it and use it. On the other hand, we should be careful about the overall look of the entire application because if it looks too different or it is too striking, many of the new users will be reserved in trying it. The reticence might be coming fro...

| Images: How To Make Them To Load Fast On Your Web Pages?
1. Use .gifs rather than .jpgs. GIFs are smaller in size when compared to JPGs.2. Use 'Height' and 'Width' tags for your images. So while page loading certain place is left for the images and visitor can go through the content while images are loading.3. If you are using large images, slice them up and make them load as part after part. For this you can use img tags like HSPACE=0 and VSPACE=0.4. Use image compression software that reduce image size. Remember, the more you reduce your image size more will be the loss of quality.http://www.spinwave.com/index.html |
