These days, people expect quality when it comes to your business websites – an unattractive website just isn’t going to capture the interest of your audience and can have a serious impact on your conversion rate. With that in mind, it’s important that you use images wisely throughout your website so you can boost your user experience and add interest and personality.

To get you started, our team of incredible web designers have gotten together to share some of their top tips for getting the most out of the images on your website.

1. Use high quality images

We’ve discussed this before but we can’t stress enough how important it is to use high quality images throughout your website. We don’t just mean having images with high resolution so they look clear and professional, you also need to have interesting, engaging pictures. Yes, it’s tempting to go with the free, boring stock photos that are readily available but they won’t add anything to your website.

2. Choose images that build your brand

If you’ve taken our advice and have a heap of beautiful, high quality images ready to go, always check that they’re being used because they have a strong connection with your business. Don’t overload your website with images that look great but don’t actually say anything. The images you choose need to reflect the personality of your business and support the content of the website. If you’re not sure why you’re including a certain image, leave it out.

3. Take the time to develop a logo

You might think a logo is the least of your worries but your logo is how people are going to recognise your brand into the future. Remember, it’s risky to change a logo down the track given the association it has with your business so you need to choose a design you’ll love long-term. Once you’ve settled on a logo, make sure it’s clearly displayed in a similar spot on each page of your website.

4. Don’t compromise on content

Images are important but don’t neglect your content. The two should work together with your business site featuring good quality content which is then supported by meaningful images. Users will be drawn to an amazing looking website but will quickly lose interest if your content isn’t clear or if they have to keep scrolling below massive images to find out what your business has to offer.

5. Test new ideas

Once you’re happy with the selection of images on your website, don’t just stick with the same design for years. As your business grows and evolves, so should your images. Experiment with changing up some of your images after a period of time and then conduct spit testing to see if you get better results. This allows your website to remain interesting and dynamic.

Bodie Czeladka

Hi I am Bodie Czeladka, surfer and devoted dad from Perth Western Australia and founder of Dilate Digital. I crafted Dilate Digital from a home theatre room in 2012 and worked solo as a freelancer until hiring my first staff member in early 2014. Dilate Digital now has the privilege of employing over 50 superstars world wide and this is just the start. I believe the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve.

Don't Take Our Word For It

Dilate Digital has received a fantastic /5 star rating

from Clients on Google

Thank you team Dilate Digital !!! Early this year my company Vermeer Equipment of WA & NT put a challenge to Dilate Digital to design a campaign for some niche construction equipment. The campaign has built some amazing leads and also created a platform that Vermeer WA & NT can use to sell our niche construction equipment to a vast audience... Prior slow moving stock has now turned out 1.5 mil in revenue over the 3 month campaign. Thanks again to all, great result!!!

Vermeer

We engaged Dilate to assist us with some FaceBook and Google Ads for our online store and we sincerely couldn't be happier! The team are open, knowledgeable and professional and we are already reaping the rewards! We excited for the future!

Pure Running

The genuine interest they showed in our business and desire to help us reach our goals is not only a credit to the individuals and their professionalism but also a reflection of the Dilate Digital philosophy. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services. In fact, we think there are a lot of companies that could benefit from Dilate Digital. If there was a rating then it's a big 10!

Creatures of Comfort

They have increased my leads 10 fold. It's not every day you ask your digital marketing company to reduce the spend because you can't handle the amount of leads. No other marketing company has provided the same level of customer service as Dilate has for me. They have far exceeded my expectations.
