Image Optimization

Web visitors are easily overwhelmed. This affects the use of images in your content. The saying that, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” is incredibly true with the Web. As visually oriented as we are these days, often more can be accomplished with a well placed, Web-optimized image than the verbal explanation.

The important thing to remember is that any images embedded into the content should contribute to the content, not distract from it.

 

A note about Web-optimized images: It’s fairly common for people to take images right from their digital cameras, scanners, or other devices and just slap them onto their Web site. The problem is that these images are usually optimized for print media by default, so their resolution and size are much greater than what is needed for the Web. These images have serious, adverse effects on a site’s load time, unless they’re optimized for the Web.

Web optimization requires the photo to be ran through the appropriate software, downsized and re-saved in a new more compact format. Once this has occurred the image can be placed on a web page and will load properly at nearly every given speed.

After optimizing your images we will upload them into your web photo directory for easy access for you to place onto your pages as desired.

The Bottom Line:

Price per image, for optimization and upload to server: $3
