Bandwidth ConservationAre you tired of the "world wide wait?" Do you get bored, drumming your fingers while some over-designed website occasionally graces your screen with some small segment of a page? Do you go fix a cup of coffee just after clicking on certain links? It doesn't have to be this way. I've designed my pages to load quickly over a dial-up modem connection, and if there's something big and slow that I want to share, I try to warn you beforehand. I meticulously hand-optimize my web pages to increase your viewing speed. What does this mean? For one thing, I concentrate on content, rather than "eye candy." I stay away from cutesy animations. I compress the heck out of my images, using excellent, third-party tools. My goal is that almost all my pages -- including those with large images -- will load over a dial-up modem in ten seconds or less. So if my site seems a bit unsophisticated by today's web standards, note how zippy it is, then ask yourself just what is sophistication, anyway? And relax from all that caffine you aren't drinking!
