Chapter 5. Working with Images

Images and media files convey an important amount of the information on your Web site. Although you’ll probably get most of your message across with text (I guess it’s not surprising that a writer would say that), graphics can provide a great deal of visual interest, and attractive graphics go a long way toward bringing visitors back to your site.

On the other hand, we’ve all seen Web sites that suffer from graphic overkill. It’s always a bad sign when visitors to your site clutch their faces and scream, “My eyes! My eyes! Aieeee!” So while Macromedia Contribute makes it easy to add images and media files to your Web pages, don’t forget that less is often more when it comes to Web design.
