Did you know that…
- Posts containing images are viewed 47% oftener
- Readers spend 51% more time on pages with illustrations than those containing no images at all
Some of us forget that SEO, Design and Content are inherently linked to the use of images.
For this reason, today we’ll give you a few tips on how to wisely use images on websites and blogs.
Update images
Nobody wears one and the same dress for 5 years - the same principle is valid for website images. It you keep a blog, update images as often as you can; for owners of websites with static images it is reasonable to change illustrations from time to time.
Add SEO Images
When placing an image on your site, do not forget to fill in the field "Name”, ALT and "Title" ("name", "Alternative text" and "Title" in WordPress) for images with relevant keywords. This will not only increase the number of hits, but also cause the flow of visitors through SEO.
Choose only relevant images
Ask yourself what message you want to share through your website - and look for the image corresponding to your idea and design. Do not sacrifice the integrity of a graphics design concept for the sake of a random image you liked.
Organize images to help users read a long text
To draw the eye to a button or important section, put there a bright image. To fill in the blanks, choose more neutral pictures.
Edit images
Use Photoshop or any other digital image editing software to create a truly memorable and eye catching image: apply image framing, sizing, tiling…or any other required technique to make your image a clean piece of art. Your imagination is the only limitation.
Use only trustworthy platforms
Of course you can create an image in Photoshop or take photo by yourself, but as a rule it is impossible to get a required image using only your own resources.
We recommend to look towards image and photo sharing resources, both free and commercial. The most popular sharing platforms are FlickR, PicasaWeb, Gettyimages, Photobucket, Istockphoto, Zooomr, and Fotolia. Some of them offer free images, the other require payment. You can buy either a royalty free or a rights-managed image depending on your needs. Besides, such platforms often provide quality control, which is a great plus! Agree?
Embed your photos in video
Also, you can embed photos in video or, if you have lots of images, you cancombine them into a video format for easy viewing. To do this, you can use intuitive services such as Flixtime, Animoto, Stupeflix or any other online video creation resource.
Add volume
Along with 2D images and photos, you can enrich your website design or blog with photorealistic three-dimensional models, which will surely grab users’ attention. We believe that the turn towards 3D models in web design is inevitable due to its attention-getting value and high return.
