Occasionally, as we surf the web, we come across a site that surely looks beautiful in one type of web browser, or a certain screen resolution…however, that is not the case in the way that we are surfing. Viewed in a different resolution or the wrong type of browser, and the plain text isn’t even clear on the page. Further to this problem, there are many different possibilities for the operating system being used by your web design viewer. Such pages will never be properly seen by any viewer except the percentage using the precise right combination of operating system, screen resolution, and internet browser. Assuming that such a web site is a merchant site, that is, it is selling goods or services online, the fact that such a small percentage of the site viewers are seeing the website design as it is truly meant to be seen, and the fact that only about half of the visitors are even able to view what is being sold will only translate into terrible losses in the potential earnings of that website.

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. This will help users enormously.
