It's interesting reviewing the history of web sites. I remember when the Internet first became a mainstream option, we all rushed to put as much as possible on our web sites. More colour, good. More images, good. More text/content, good. Flash, good.
In the rush to load more and more onto our web sites we've forgotten that not everyone in the world has high speed Internet access. The more we load our web sites the more frustrating for those without high speed access.
It's become even more important with the advent of smart-phones and tablets to be aware of how long it takes to load a web site. In the era of instant gratification we need to have a compelling reason for people to wait while our digital "works of art" load.
So, why blog about it? Well we've just completed two new sites one for our own product Jobcard Tracking System and another one for our friends at Il Toro Espresso & Pasta Bar . Both sites have minimal graphics and a clean simple look. After all isn't that what we want to impart?
The over use of text and graphics tends to lose people on occasion, so it's better to do something clean and effective. An example is the page that explains our Brother special offer , clean and reasonably fast.
Our first "clean" site was for Euro Pizza in Adelaide.
By making a site clean and fast you make it easy for everyone to see what your story is whether they're at home, work or mobile.
