Choose a web site designer.

Like web hosts, there are web site designers available for every budget. There are instances when price is not reflective of what you will get. There are high priced web page designers that provide low cost and there are low cost web page designers that provide high quality. A good way to find out about your designer is look at his or her own web site. With what quality is that site designed? Secondly, look atrepparttar portfolio onrepparttar 132636 web site. Are allrepparttar 132637 web sites inrepparttar 132638 portfoliorepparttar 132639 same? Is that web site designer a one trick monkey? Onrepparttar 132640 other hand, is he or she able to create different types of designs?

Like any service do your homework and chose wisely.

Another option is to slicerepparttar image. Again, most graphics programs offer this feature. You can slice a graphic into as many smaller pieces as you want. Then create a table with cell padding and borders set to 0. Then put each ofrepparttar 132634 pieces intorepparttar 132635 table inrepparttar 132636 proper order. These smaller graphics, even though they equalrepparttar 132637 same size as your original one, will load faster thanrepparttar 132638 one big graphic.

There is one other little trick, and that's to userepparttar 132639 same graphic several times on one page. For example, if you have a button for people to order products or services from your site, userepparttar 132640 same graphic. Don’t have different buttons, like "Order Sweater," "Order Shirt," etc. Just use an "Order Now" button. The browser only loads that button once, and puts it everywhere onrepparttar 132641 page it belongs. You could have 100 ofrepparttar 132642 same buttons on a page, and they will all appear inrepparttar 132643 time it takes to load just one button.

After you've created your webpage, optimized and sliced your images, you need to see just how fast it will load at different connect speeds. You can do this easily by going to (AOL members: //watson.addy.com). Just putrepparttar 132644 URL ofrepparttar 132645 page you want to test, and they will tell you how fastrepparttar 132646 page will load at various connect speeds. It's fast, easy and and costs nothing.

So remember to think of your visitors first, not your design skills. You may want to showrepparttar 132647 world what a fantastic website designer you are, but if no one sees your page then your efforts are being wasted.
