Optimizing Images for Web: A Practical Guide
|
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, which is one of the reasons images are so important in ecommerce.
Without the customer being able to pick up, touch and inspect a product, they rely heavily on the images
to understand the color, the quality, and the story of the product.
So it goes without saying that your images need to be hi-resolution and crisp. But, this comes at a price.
Large, high definition images can have huge file sizes. Put a few of these on your site and that snappy
experience of navigating your online store can end up feeling more like swimming through molasses.

Web Design Trends 2017: Microinteractions
|
Microinteractions are the subtle, but powerful ways to interact with a website. They are often found in
hovers, click animations, scrolling effects, etc. While we’ve always had these types of design elements,
designers are spending more time on them, making them more informative and more refined.
Probably the most used integration is the hover/rollover, where a visitor can simply move their cursor
over parts of the site to see these microinteractions and interact with the site in that way.
