HOW TO USE IMAGES IN A WEBSITE

There's nothing better than a beautiful image to enhance the look of
your website. It's been said that a book without pictures is as boring
as the author who wrote it. It's not different to a website. A picture
can make a boring website look cooler, but there are limits towards
the use of pictures.

PICTURE ALIGNMENT

In a website or a web page, you cannot put a picture any where it
suites you. You have to think of a way to make a picture likable, not
too destructive to the content. Pictures are important but not if they
hold more attention to the visitor than the content.

IRRELEVANT PICTURES

If the main point of your website is to get visitors to buy insurance
online, don't put a picture of a kid playing soccer. What does a kid
playing soccer has to do with buying insurance? Exactly, nothing.
Rather put a picture of a very expensive car rolling down a cliff.
That's relevant to insurance. Images are more attractive to a visitor,
only when they are relevant to the topic. You can also use images for
search engine optimizing purposes. The SEO image lesson is covered on
the next post.
