Using Big Images On Your Website

You may have noticed an increased use of big pictures and images on websites lately. This trend has developed as a result of websites becoming more and more visual while text is becoming shorter and more focused on a specific call to action or message.

Using a large photograph or illustration will not only add visual appeal but, chosen wisely, will help market the products and services of your site more effectively. If you have a photography site using large pictures to showcase your work should be a given.

Here are a few sites designed by HIT Web Design that highlight the use of large pictures and images:

Using large photos and images that relate to your business not only make what you do easily identifiable they a great way to showcase your work. Redesigning you site and adding large pictures and images can add visual appeal to your site and if your site is text heavy remember the old saying a “picture is worth a thousand words.”

Don't Misuse or Overuse Pictures on Your Website

It is true that websites are becoming more and more visually engaging, and using pictures and graphics properly can help improve your site's ability to market your products and services to your potential

customers. However, just like too much text on a website may turn off a visitor to your site, too many pictures, or pictures used poorly, can also be detrimental to your website. Following are some things to keep in mind when using pictures on your site.

The pictures and graphics you use on your website should not detract from the text. They should guide the reader to what you want them to do, whether it is to buy your products, to call your place of business, or some other call to action. Too many pictures can be distracting and can make it hard for visitors to your site to even find the information you want to convey.

Using pictures, graphics, or animations on a site should not only be used because they look “cool” but should support the overall purpose of your website, which should be to market your products and services to potential customers, or to provide information to your visitors.
