Finding graphics for your website can be a real
chore, especially if you're on a tight budget. Don't worry
there are plenty of sites out there that actually offer free
graphics for use on your site. You just need to know where
to look (that's where I come in).
If you're in need of graphics to help with your
sales pages check out this sweet
deal for only 7.00. (opens in new window)
Make sure when putting together your site you
compress any and all graphics you use so the download time
of your site doesn't take too long. It's a major mistake of
newbies to put huge graphics or too many animated ones on
a page. Remember, less is more. Simpler is better. K.I.S.S.-
"Keep it Simple Stupid". Not that you're stupid,
just keep it in mind when designing your website.
