Twenty one graphical linking buttons at 1.5 kb per image would require an upload of 31.5 kb. That's equal to three times the size of our medium sized logo. Our largest page is only 50 kb in total. This is why we encourage you to time us. Our pages are lean and mean.
Some web surfers prefer the flashing buttons and rotating banners and moving graphics.
These same web surfers will, however, complain about the page upload speeds. If the upload time takes too long then click, click the web surfer is gone and all the slick tricks are never seen. Worse than that, for a business trying to generate sales, a potential customer never viewed the web site. Keep the number of graphics at the top of a page to a bare minimum. This seems to be one of the most prevalent and common mistakes made by webmaster's.
