Introduction If you've spent much time exploring the Web, you've almost certainly encountered some badly designed Web sites. Since almost anyone can create Web pages, it's not surprising that many sites are confusing, overwhelming, ugly, or incredibly slo-o-o-ow. Tantalizing content can be hidden forever from the world when a site is poorly designed.
What are Your Options Once you've organized your site and designed some pages, it's time to produce the individual graphics that will go on each page. The two main graphics formats that Web browsers can read are GIF and JPEG. Each is suitable for different types of images, so it's important to know which one to choose. There are also several GIFs and JPEGs that you can use to create other effects, such as animation.

Once you understand the difference between GIF and JPEG images, you'll want to determine the size and color of the graphics you're putting on your Web page. You'll also need to learn which type of software you can use to make GIFs and JPEGs--and what you need to know about these applications.
