good images are key for a great ecommerce website

Your ecommerce solution can be the best design in the world, but if you use poor, or low quality images, the design will look bad, and will probably be unsuccessful due to this. We have asked our website design experts to explain what makes a good image, and how you can vastly improve your ecommerce website design or ebay store design by simply using good images.

Consistency in Photography

If you are on a tight budget, and are forced to take your own images for your ecommerce website solution, there are some simple things that you can do to make images look better. Consistency is the number one priority! Use a consistent background where possible, and try to take photographs at the same angle. Consistency in photography will instantly improve the look of your design.

Online Image Size and Resolution

Online images do not need to be high resolution, RAW images. Online images rarely need to be any bigger than 500pixes Square, at a resolution of only 72dpi (standard print resolution is 300dpi). However, images below this size will scale up, and will look fuzzy and unprofessional. Ensure your images are above 500pixels wide for the best results online.

Use stock images

Where possible, make use of professional, high quality stock images. Royalty free, stock images do not need to be expensive, and can vastly improve the look of any website design. Here at advansys our graphic design team regularly use stock images to enhance a great ecommerce design.

By improving the images on your ecommerce web design, website or ebay store design you will begin to see a big difference, and understand the importance of quality images online.
