Web Design Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about the process of designing a Web site? Here's
a few of our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Web site
design, programming, and set-up:
Yes. Current flyers, display ads, photos, catalogs, press releases,
and other material can do double duty by including them on a Web
site. It is important to realize, however, that the Web is a different
medium than print, radio, or TV advertising, and it requires different
graphic techniques and specialized programming. Also, some photos
or graphics require additional processing to make them usable
on the Web. TOP
Why are some sites so slow to load?
There are a variety of reasons why some Web sites seem slower
than others. The most important aspect of download speed is the
viewer's modem speed and computer capabilities. Another factor
is the speed of the server, or web host. Overloaded servers or
those without high-speed connections provide data at a low rate.
Web sites that have extensive use of images, complicated backgrounds,
animations, or certain special effects are also slower to view.
