DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Here at WebIT we are well aware of how ineffective graphically heavy web sites can be.
Many of the websites we review would appear to be fine at first glance
(...if you can stay awake long enough to get a first glance that is!) Z Z Z z z  z   z    z

....on closer scrutiny we often find we can reduce web page download times by as much as 50% simply by optimising and splicing the sites existing images and animations.

At webIT we strive to create web pages which are visually interesting but don't take an age to download to your visitors browser.

We optimise all images and animations we create for use on your sites and we`re always looking for ways to further streamline your web pages by substituting unnecessary graphic elements with dynamic HTML and CSS styles and Microsoft filters.

See Example Below

CSS filters:- Just one way to cut page download times!
The lower image (Example B) is 8 times smaller than (Example A)

Example 'A' uses a single JPG image:
WDorange.jpg

File size: 12.7Kb:
Loading time @ 56K=2 seconds

NOT BAD BUT LOOK BELOW!

Example A

Hardly discernable from the previos image - Example 'B' uses this tiny frog image and substitutes the text and colour gradient with a coded .CSS filter:

File size: 1.6Kb
Download time @ 56K=0.25 seconds

A massive 87% reduction in download time >>>

Example B
