Now you have chosen SiteBuilder to build and create your new website, it’s time to bring it to life with some great images and graphics. You may wish to show off your latest products, family pictures or something you have designed yourself.
Here are some of our top tips for keeping your visitors engaged with the imagery on your new website.
- Use your own photos, or if you are struggling, consider buying professional images from somewhere like istockphoto. The right images can really create an impact and overall feel for your website.
- If you have taken a photo yourself and fear that it may be too large to use on your site, fear not! SiteBuilder automatically resizes your photos for the web.
- Why not consider using the slideshow widget to display more of your images. You can even hide the thumbnails to create a really slick animated sequence for your pictures.
- Think about the detail. It’s the age old ‘everything is in the detail argument’ and with images it is true. Think about some smaller images you could use to really add character to your sites pages. Why not add a Twitter or Facebook icon to bring your social media links to life.
- You should consider adding an ‘ALT tag’ to each of your images. This can help with your Google rankings.
Images can really help your site stand out and making the most of them can really make a difference to your visitor experiences.
From May 1st you will be able to register your .uk domains from 1 – 10 years, giving you greater control and flexibility over your .uk domains.

The International Rugby Board (IRB) announced recently that it is applying to ICANN for .Rugby generic top-level domain name.
IRB Chairman Bernard Lapasset said: “With an 18 per cent increase in participation over the last four years we now have more than 5.5 million players participating across 117 countries affiliated to the IRB. Rugby is engaging with more men, women and children than ever before while the profile and commercial reach of the sport continues to go from strength to strength.”
“This application is for the Rugby family and underscores our continued commitment to protecting and promoting Rugby’s values and ethos. It is our ambition to ensure that the .RUGBY domain resides within the sport in order that all involved in Rugby can benefit.”
