Understanding the Importance of Key Pictures, Photos, and Images for Your Website

Images are an important part of an effective website, here are some you should include - by plan.

To simplify the process for you, we’ve included a list of pictures that are generally appropriate for each of our website and project plans.

When possible, please provide pictures in landscape orientation - pictures that are wider than they are tall - as this provides the greatest flexibility for use. If you have great pictures that are not landscapes go ahead and include those as well. See more about image sizes here.
