Web and Graphic Design Tips & Tricks

Graphics Think small, like 10-12KB per image. Yes, depending on the source, the number of broadband users is going up. But slow pages are still really annoying, even if you're on a T1. And huge images are a primary cause of slow pages. It's easy to optimize your images. Always use graphics that fit the content. Just because you have an adorable photo of your dog doesn't mean you should have it on your Web site about Singapore Web Design (sorry, Shasta...). The main exception I would make to this is for "design" images. These are photos or graphics that help make up the design of the page, and are not intended to illustrate the content. Do not use images that blink or move or change or rotate or flash or do anything on your page. Or use them sparingly. There have been many studies that show that flashing graphics are distracting and annoying to people. In fact, in one focus group I watched the browsers actually physically cover up flashing graphics so that they co...

It is very tempting to automatically exclude anyone who won't work for peanuts. But if you do that, you're not going to have a good looking site. You should come up with a price you think is reasonable, but if every designer quotes you something much higher than that, you probably are expecting too much for too little. On the other hand, it doesn't help to just go with the most expensive quote. Just because someone quotes you a rate that's extremely high doesn't mean that you will get an extremely good site. The law of diminishing returns applies. Some rules of thumb for pricing: Free means you'll get a very bad site or very very little. At best you'll get a good site, and then when you ask them to make one change they'll never answer your calls. Volunteering and barter is different than free. If you run a non-profit, you might be able to find a Web designer to volunteer time for your website. But don't expect it. An estimate of $5-10 per page is ext...
