It is important to send the proper image sizes and file formats for your web design project. The quality of your content (Text, Images, Graphics, etc.) not only affects the appearance of your site, it also has an impact on its overall performance. For this reason, we have strict guidelines for the quality and format of content we use in our work. These guidelines allow us to be more creative, work more efficiently, and preserve the value of your investment by avoiding the many adverse affects of poorly optimized content.
