Effective Website Photos and Images Part 2 0

Sandra Niehaus from Closed Loop Marketing

Sandra Niehaus from Closed Loop Marketing

This article continues a series of guidelines to help you with website image selection. In Part 1, Sandra  covered some general principles to consider, including the image’s mood, uniqueness, content quality, and contextual cropping. In this article she discuss’s ways to use images to support and reinforce a business brand.

Before we look at how images can support your brand, let’s back up one step and look at your brand itself. How clearly can you describe your brand? Do you know what qualities you wish it to convey? If you were to summarize your brand with only four descriptive words, what would they be? And, even more importantly, would your target audience agree with your assessment?

At a strategic level, image selection is simply an outgrowth of foundational marketing principles. Once you’ve solidified your brand’s  ’personality’, message, and unique value proposition, you’ll be able to judge not only images but colors and copy as well against those standards and select what fits best.

As an example, let’s take a look at two fictitious company brands and their targeted characteristics…..

How to Choose Effective Website Photos and Images. Part 1 0

Sandra Niehaus from Closed Loop Marketing

Sandra Niehaus from Closed Loop Marketing

A Very useful article published by Sandra Niehaus covers the use of photographs on web sites.

“Not all images are created equal. The right image on a web page can capture attention, inform, and even persuade your site visitors. The right image can communicate who you and your company are more quickly and powerfully than words alone can do. The wrong image, however, can confuse, annoy, and even repel your visitors.

The wrong image can give your audience a negative impression of your product, service, or company that you may never have a chance to correct.”

Areas Covered include:-

  • Guideline #1. Does it convey the right feeling?
  • Guideline #2. Does it add information?
  • Guideline #3. Is it (at least fairly) unique?
  • Guideline #4. Is it contextually cropped?

    Seven Hills Road Gas Replacement UPDATE. 0

    For all residents affected by the proposed closure of Seven Hills Road, Cobham, Surrey by Souther Gas Networks.

    I have just been informed of the following by Souther Gas Networks

    UPDATE: We have worked closely with Surrey County Council and have listened to the concerns of residents and road users regarding this project. As a result, a revised programme of work has been planned, including closures of Seven Hills Road for certain periods during the Christmas/New Year, Easter and summer holidays. Additional work will take place outside these dates but will not result in road closures.
    The outline of the planned programme of work, which will begin on 28th December, is shown below.

    28/12/09 – 03/01/10: Seven Hills Road closed and lane restrictions on Byfleet Road. Seven Hills Road will reopen on 04/01/10

    04/01/10 – 31/01/10: Lane restrictions in Seven Hills Road South

    15/03/10 – 11/04/10: Lane restrictions on Queens Road Roundabout

    29/03/10 – 11/04/10: Seven Hills Road closed. The road will reopen on 12/04/10

    20/06/10 – 29/08/10: Seven Hills Road closed. The road will reopen on 30/08/10

    While we realise that our work will still cause disruption, we are working hard to try and minimise this and will make every effort to complete this project as soon as we can.

    During the closures of Seven Hills Road, through traffic will need to use a diversionary route via Queens Road, Esher Bypass, Copsem Lane and the A3 and vice versa. Access to residents, businesses and the school in Seven Hills Road will be maintained throughout and we will be working seven days a week and extended hours where it is safe and possible to do so.
