How to turn your website graphics into an eye-catcher
Here are 9 tips for successful graphics on a website:
- Appropriate size: The size of the graphics should be adapted to the website to ensure that they do not appear distorted or stretched.
- High quality: High resolution and quality graphics are important to ensure that they are displayed clearly on different screen sizes and resolutions.
- Consistency: All graphics on the website should be kept in a uniform style to create a consistent visual experience.
- Colour scheme: The graphics should be kept in a colour scheme that matches the colour palette of the website.
- Simplicity: Avoid overloaded or overly complex graphics to convey a clear and understandable message.
- Contrast: Use contrast to emphasise important elements and make sure they stand out.
- Balance: The graphics should create a balanced mix of text and images on the website.
- Usability: Use graphics that improve the navigation and usability of the website instead of hindering it.
- Accessibility: When using graphics, take people with visual impairments into account by using alternative texts (alt tags) and descriptions to describe the content of the graphics.
