Free Photo Editor

One of the most common mistakes novice website authors make is placing huge unoptimized photos on their web pages that take aeons to load in a visiting browser. Most visitors are gone before the images are even half loaded.

Demonstration

For a demonstration of what I'm talking about Click Here. This is a 1.6mb jpeg taken from a digital camera. The photo will open in a separate frame, so you can minimize it while you are waiting for it to load.

If you are viewing this website from a dial up connection you'll be sitting here about 5 to 10 minutes waiting for this picture to load.

How many of your dial up visitors do you think will wait that long? Are you still waiting?

Maybe you think that most people are on high speed internet connections. Think again. If you make this mistake on your website, you'll be turning away about 40% of your visitors.

Some people can't get high speed and others just can't afford it.

So What Do You Do?

Download Webstyle 4 and use the photo editor to optimize your photos before you put them on your web pages.

This is a Free Trial version, but the photo editor will continue to work after the 15 day trial period is over. It's yours to keep and it's worth its weight in gold!!

If you want to display the large images, use thumbnails and give people the option of waitng for the larger images to load.
