Web Designing Optimization

All website designers want to have the most attractive website that leaves a visitor completely amazed about their works. A usual scene of an extremely attractive web design involves lots of graphical elements. By increasing the overall page size which the cause to download the page slowly to the browser.

As the average internet bandwidth rate per computer is raising, more and more webmasters allow themselves to develop complex websites loaded with heavy graphic elements. In very extreme cases you can find websites that take as much as a few minutes to load their content in your browser. Of course the user will never wait that long for a website to load, and will move on to the next website in search results.

Never limit the web designer by placing any restrictions that impact the final outcome. You might make the claim that what a web designer can do with graphic software is impossible to implement by code. I disagree. When the design is finished and you are ready to slice it into small images to be used in the html code, your creativity is been tested. Everything you do at this stage will affect the total page size. If your design contains rounded shapes that overlap each other or areas with color gradients, then you must slice it carefully so the outcome is a small file size.
