Fast loading
For first-time visitors, loading time is utmost important as this is the factor to continue waiting or surfing away from your site. The latter case can happen and that means you lose your potential viewers to the sites, in other words, customers.
When you hire somebody to design your web sites, you probably only consider nice graphics and some cutting-edged designs on the sites showcase. Try to consider the world's famous websites like Yahoo and Google who serve millions of customers each day. They use simple graphics only where necessary in order to minimize loading time.
It is true that pictures are indispensible to attract customers but you have to use them sparingly.
As a matter of fact, a well-formatted web site is much better than web sites using heavy graphics as it is more informative and it reduces loading time to the minimum. Remember that nice displays get an impression but well-formatted sites get the customers. Our customers web sites never take more than 30 seconds to load completely on the normal modem connection.
Our ratings for loading time can be considered as
excellent: 1- 5 seconds
good:6 - 15 seconds
acceptable: 16-30 seconds
critical : 31-60 seconds
worse: over 60 seconds
It is true that broadband technology is gaining more popularity and now widespread today but the majority of visitors still use 56K modem. Loading time factors are due to 3 major reasons, i.e.
site designs, connection speed and the web server. Connection speed varies on graphical location, time and servers traffic. On the server side, we store only 250 domains per server whereas cheap hosting companies store thousands and that create congested traffic. We can provide our own servers to host your website and our servers specification is much better and more robust than those found in many popular hosting companies. @ Lumpini, we only design the sites that sell.
