It is important to choose relevant and applicable images when applying them to your website.
- You want to find images that are royalty-free or take your own, so you do not get in legal trouble.
- All of your images should be instantly recognizable, relevant, and convey information.
- All of the images you choose should help convey the right mood and color palette that matches the rest of your site.
The "images" folder within the Site Root Folder serves as a centralized repository for all image assets used in a website.
- It acts as a dedicated storage space, housing images that are essential for the visual components of web pages.
- By keeping all images in one location, developers can easily locate and manage them during the development process.
- Properly organizing images within the "images" folder based on their type or function enhances the overall structure of the project, making it easier to maintain and update the website in the future.
There are a variety of different image file types depending on your desired preferences.
- JPEGs are preferred for photographs and complex images due to their high compression rates while maintaining decent image quality, though they lack transparency support.
- PNG files excel in images with transparent backgrounds or sharp edges, offering lossless compression and preserving quality, making them suitable for logos or graphics.
- GIFs are commonly used for animated images or simple graphics, supporting animation and transparency, yet limited to 256 colors, which may not be ideal for complex images.
