Small Business Web Design
Graphics & Flash

Small business web design graphics services.

A small business web design graphics services are almost, I say almost, essential to most website designs. Just be sure you minimize your graphic designs. By that I mean to keep all graphic designs small in pixel size.

It is best to use jpg construction, which means using the background colors in each graphic you decide to use. I know the GIF is easier to paste where ever you want them, but the pixel size will usually be larger than a jpg graphic. I also know that 70+% of the internet users are using broadband, however, that leaves 30% of the market bailing out of your webpage if it is loaded with graphics and loading to slow.

If you haven't had experience in graphic design for websites, it's best to find a web design graphic service, graphic design can become tricky and very time consuming. Choosing a web design graphic service also can become dicey. A small business web design graphic service, usually, is more suited for the small business and less expensive than a full-blown corporate graphic design service.

Flash web design

This area is my personal Achilles Heel, most flash web design on the internet tends to be more entertaining than informational and for those that still use dialup, a nightmare. This can cost you about 30% of the market, so let it cost your flashy competitors the 30%.

Never use flash web design on your home page, never! If you want some flash web design on your website, give the potential customer a heads up on which pages that may contain flash web design. Another option is to not load your flash automatically, give the user the option to select whether they want to load it or not.

Personally, I can see flash being used for instructional and special needs presentations, maybe even for some related entertainment. Just use it wisely.
