Feel free to let us know what you would like us to cover in this series. By NYI Dean Chuck DeLaney As series readers know, I believe that a good Website tells a story. As I mentioned last month, you need to realize that your Web visitors are impatient. Many of them are using slow modems, maybe 28.8 or even 14.4 kbps. If your Site is loaded with lots of photographs or complex graphics, it will download slowly, perhaps very slowly.
Web surfers are impatient.
I provided a few related questions to stimulate your thinking last month. If there are photos that need to be seen in a large format, it often makes sense to start by presenting a small image and giving your visitors a chance to click on the photo to view a larger version. The next issue to consider is your visitor's first impression. If you have a lot of information on your homepage, make sure that the things that will hook your viewers are visible at the very top of the homepage. You don't want to make your viewer scroll down to see the important stuff.
