Every website owner wants his website to be the best and most attractive one. They want their visitors to visit again and again. Normally graphics plays an important role making it more attractive in the overall look. In this process designers end up making a heavy website which takes lots of time to download. So web designer should keep in mind this factor while designing a website.
Day by day average bandwidth rate is increasing and this has given a freedom to the designers to make more complex websites. In few cases, it happens that websites take few minutes to load. The long waiting irritates the user and they leave half the way without even entering into an actual website. User easily moves to the next website in the search result if a website takes a long time to download.
Now the question which arise is that why webmaster make slow downloading websites. The reason is that lack of knowledge. They do not know how to use simple graphic optimization techniques. With the proper knowledge the webmaster can make an attractive and fast downloadable website with keeping the web page size small.
For example, a box with the rounded corners is possible with CSS code and without any graphic image. It is very easy but who don't have that knowledge they will feel it requires a lot of technical knowledge and high level of programming. These are the very common mistakes webmasters do that instead of going for the simple solutions they opt for difficult ones.
Web designer should avoid using large sizes with same graphics. This is the common mistake done by the designers while working with the gradient color background. Small portion of slice with duplicating the code will also work here.
For the image many designers always use JPEG format which is very heavy. The designer can go for GIF also which is smaller in size. The size of JPEG with many colors is smaller than GIF but with fewer colors GIF is smaller. The reduced size of image makes lots of difference in the overall page size.
One more important thing always a designer /webmaster should remember is that when text is in solid color background than they should not slice it all. Here they can use code to create a background. With the CSS code it becomes easy to define the background color and the font style.
These simple things can help a lot to reduce the size of the website and it makes the website to fast downloadable one.
