Trying to learn how to print A4, A5 and produce a fast enough loading website, is more challenging than ever with the plethora of elements involved these days.
This tutorial [obviously promo for their website method!]is intended as a guide to building attractive SynthaSite websites but also takes a look at broader issues surrounding good web design.

			Minimise the use of images on a single page. As a rough guide, ten to twenty 20k images on a page is more than 
			plenty. Be sure to optimise your images for the web. All image files should be low resolution (72dpi). As a rule 
			of thumb use GIF format for computer generated graphics such as simple logos, buttons or animations, and JPEG format 
			for photographs or scanned material.

			If you've spent some time surfing the web you'll have noticed that it's easy to make an ugly website. 
			Luckily, it's just a case of learning to avoid those features that guarantee to make a site look amateurish.
