Do you use text rather than images where appropriate?
Last updated by Chris Schultz [SSW] 12 months ago.See historyUsing text rather than images has multiple advantages:
- Downloads faster - a users patience extends to about 7 seconds.
- Cheaper to update - a simple find and replace.
- Discoverable by search engines - if people can't get to your site, what's the point of it being there?
- Readable on an iPhone - Images will either be resized or require scrolling, which would create difficulties for readability.
<img src="Images/Heading_Welcome.gif>Bad Example - Using image for text header
<h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>Good Example - This text can be easily rendered by the browser and recognized by search engine
