Chapter 4. Audio

Web audio has been practically eclipsed by video, but there are still times when it makes sense to add an audio file to your site. Common uses include recorded testimonials or an audio sales or thank-you message.

Audio can be added using software on your own computer or through a subscription service. The services are best when you need something right now, but you'll save money and have more control in the long run by getting your own software. (If you use a service, be sure to keep a local backup of all your audio messages.)
