Graphic Elements — A (Good) Picture Is Worth AT Least 1000 Words!

The Web is a visual medium — graphics play a major role in its appeal and power. But they also present challenges...

First of all, graphics have to be ``downloaded" — moved from the ``server", where your site lives, to the viewer's PC. This takes time — sometimes, if the graphic elements haven't been carefully planned, too much time  (thus the remark ``World Wide Wait" !) You want to turn your site visitor ON, not OFF, and, if he or she is a little impatient, or isn't using state-of-the-art tools, provide the viewer with alternatives to waiting for a download.

Secondly, graphics have to be integrated into your overall site design. Graphics on the Web are even more prominent than in print, or even than on TV, and are NEVER neutral  — they MUST be  functional elements of your site, not just obvious add-ons, or they'll detract from your product story.

Finally, the Web puts its own constraints on graphic design that just aren't present in other media — colors and functionality of site graphics  MUST be considered from the perspective of their role as Web elements as well as from a strictly visual standpoint.

INFTEK understands the way graphics work on the Web, and brings that expertise to bear in creating YOUR site.

What do graphics cost? Depends on their source. STOCK graphics (clip art, or existing scannable art perhaps already prepared for another medium) can be brought on to a site (and manipulated, sized, and have functionality added) for about $50.00 per image. CUSTOM graphics, or graphic elements requiring extensive manipulation and/or sophisticated functionality and animation, start at approximately $250.00.

We can add custom digital  photos — to introduce your key players, highlight your office layout or scenic setting, or show off your product line — for about $75 each.

All INFTEK site packages include the creation of a custom logo for YOUR site.
