Tip: Don't plan on a lot of graphics on your page (whether one big one or a dozen little ones). It will take forever to load and your visitor may get tired of waiting and move on. In general, text loads very quickly, small graphics load next, and big graphics come up last. The fewer the graphics, the quicker your page will load.

Tip: Many people hate moving graphics and blinking text. It's very distracting when you're trying to read.

Tip: Assume that your customers will scan your text, not read it. Be concise, get to the point quickly and use bulleted items.
