Images

I have several request to upgrade and modify a website. As soon as I get a website,
all I see are images scanned and uploaded. "Oh", I think to myself. "Why do people think that if they scan their catalogs, brochures, and menus and upload it to the webhost, they have an instant website.?" I wish it was that easy. The search engines do not read images but codes. If a website has to function properly in all browsers, it needs to be coded properly. Besides the image files posted are so large, it take forever to load. The visitors might just get too impatient and might be tempted to move on.A large image file needs to be sliced into smaller gif images so it loads faster and more efficient. Hope this helps...
