When adding graphics to your site, consider the size of the graphics files and the time it will take for the associated pages to download. Short downloads keep your readers interested and moving through your site. For more information, see Using Graphics on Your Publisher 2000 Web Site . If you want to use large graphics on your site, consider using thumbnail graphics. A thumbnail is a small preview of a large graphic that links to the full-size version of the graphic.
Thumbnails are useful on a Web site because they take less time to download than full-size graphics.
Readers can choose which pictures are worth waiting for. Thumbnails are used in many creative ways on Web sites, for example, for product catalogs, family photo albums, or real estate listings.

Using Color on Your Web Site Strategic use of color is another way to unify the look and message of a Web site and to draw readers in. You can apply color to almost anything on a Web site, including text, pictures, borders, tables, navigation buttons, and visited and unvisited hyperlinks.
