Having a unique site needs cutting edge effects and memorable visuality, but usability, page rendering speed and ultimative device compatibility are serious constraints too. A tight budget also doesn't ultimately help by getting a compelling website up and running.
Even though graphics and photos add to the unique touch and visual language a web page emanates, having the most recent versions of all key visuals at all occurrences is a challenge. Especially, when the finishing phase approaches and sudden last-minute changes require updating different versions and retouches of the same key-visual. And adding a watermark or logo in your images shouldn't require you to open all images in your most favorite image editor.
A content management system (CMS) is a must-have and there are literally thousands of products
to choose from. But that doesn't still adress questions of working with graphics. Ask yourself:
What do I have to do to insert a simple image gallery?
Why should that be any more than
a few simple clicks?
The killer change request tops all: Now, please make all corners round, we ought to be more Web2.0
.
