Re: Graphic design (none / 0)

I would be very surprised if any use of shading, revised colours, visual cues etc. had any impact on response times whatsoever. You are talking about using templates into which the content is poured. I'm not technical enough to explain the process, but with a well designed - even glitzy - site page file sizes need not be an issue.

Re: Graphic design (4.00 / 2)

Sounds do ; Flash do. It is at those elements that lengthen page load times. Overuse of graphic buttons rather than pure text also does - and limits accessibility.

After that there is the matter of taste ; graphic designers and typographers recommend limiting font use to at most three on a single page...

And the more different elements are incorporated into a page, the harder it is to do tastefully, too. Simple design avoids horrible results - and it seems we are a bit short on professional designers here, halas.

Re: Graphic design (none / 0)

I wouldn't want flash, sounds are a nice to have optional extra which should be a user preference if it is there at all. I don't like multiple fonts and programmers doing graphic design. So I guess we are stuck with what we have!
