Placement of website images matters
Personally the general appearance of website pages have always been important to me. As a visitor or potential customer I''ve always been aware that if I don't like the visual look of a website, I will leave immediately. Colours, type and size of font and images all have a huge impact on me - let alone what is actually written.
My best friend tells me that I'm extreme and very fussy. I prefer to say that I'm creative and visual appearance is important to me - but I suspect on occasions that she's right.
However - this week I've realised that I'm not entirely mad and I'm far from being alone in being affected by such things. But what I hadn't realised as a website owner just how getting some of these things wrong could affect your sales.
This week I've been doingf a little bit of research on website images and despite my own tastes I have been surprised and shocked by the possible impact they can have. So I've put together this infographic with some tips which I hope you may find useful.
As I'm just about to launch a new site promoting WA - I shall be putting this new found knowedge to good use and thinking very carefully about the images and captions I'm going to use.
I shall also be reviewing my coaching site - but as it has over 100 pages I am not just going to start changing all the images. Any changes need thinking about.
My advice - if you're going to make any changes to your own sites- proceed with care. It's not a rush job.
