| How To Make Your Visitors Stay
I bet you agree that visiting a colorful web site might be a
wonderful or painful experience, depending how long we have to
wait to see all that beauty...
Not many people know that slowly loading pages is the main
reason visitors leave web sites right upon arrival. So, keep
your own web pages lean in graphics and fast in loading -- you
cannot persuade anyone to anything if they don't stay to read
your message!
But a few graphics, or no graphics at all, does not mean dull
and colorless pages. You can add color and plenty of impact
without adding a loading time.
Take a look at this example -- a page packed with colors, yet it
loads up in only 3 seconds on a slow 28.8 K modem:

If you don't design pages yourself, make sure you closely WATCH
your web developer -- professional graphic designers are
notorious for producing bloated sites (which in turn fail to
produce sales). Ask him (or her) to optimize every image to keep
the loading time of your key pages below 20 seconds, even on
those slower modems. Yahoo loads up in 6 second -- believe it or
not, that's your competition!
The bottom line? Keep in mind that only when your visitors stay,
your sales can grow!
