Sapphire Falls Web Design

Low cost digital cameras have turned the masses into amateur photographers. New web tools such as Facebook and Yahoo! Flickr have allowed photographers to flood the Internet with images. Each new generation of digital camera provides users with increased mega-pixel photograph capability.

What some novice Internet users do not realize is that one 1MB image can take over 30 seconds to download with a conventional Internet telephone modem! Poorly optimized images appearing on websites bog down servers and frustrate users.

Optimize Digital Images

Sapphire Falls Web Design optimizes photographs for optimal Internet viewing. Photographs may be provided by clients as part of a website design contract or Sapphire Falls Web Design can obtain vintage custom photographs on location for your business upon request. Another option is to license photographs from one of the more reputable image databases:

• Corbis
• Dreamstime
• Getty Images
• Image*After
• iStockphoto
• Stock.xching

If photography is a major part of your website, optimizing the images specifically for Internet viewing can make the difference between a sale or not.
