So the categories all have slideshows now and look good but there are some things to keep in mind when making these images – they are a uniform size across the site but that size is larger than what is displayable in the max witdth of the page – the reason for this is that I am trying to future proof and accomodate modes of viewing that would need a larger size – we might redo these smaller as there are only 5 sections that require a header image or slider…
To format and upload an image here are the specs
- size is 1600×600 – 72dpi
- once exported from photoshop I run it through tinypng.com manually to reduce it more – often it saves an additional 20% to 40% over photoshops compression.
- The header image on the contact page disregards these sizes entirely – just make that image 600px wide and it will swap out fine…
