Looks good, attracts attention, adds movement and depth to your web page. All of these statements are correct BUT even this highly optimised animated gif adds 6 seconds to the download time of this page on a 28.8kps modem. Keep your visitors waiting and they may just pass you by. You need to weigh up the benefits of animated gif's versus the time taken to load. We strongly recommend a maximum of one per page, if you have more ensure that your visitors have a good reason to stay by the time that they reach the page in question. NEVER put too many animated gifs on your Index or Entry page ! Do you have a gif that you would like optimised and returned to you FREE OF CHARGE ? Attach it an e-mail and we will return an optimised copy within 48 hours.

Would you like your pages to load faster ? There is a solution. HTML contains many unnecessary characters that add both to the time that the page takes to load and the space required on the ISP to store the page. The same principle applies to the offer to optimise JPEG and GIF files. We will optimise your web pages for you, all we ask in return is that you include our logo on your entry page. E-Mail your web page or URL to us and we will provide you with a report or optimised versions within 72 hours. E-Mail Splott Solutions
