Design Questions

Return to top What are JPEG's, GIF's and EPS files? A .JPEG or .JPG format supports 24 bits of color information, and is most commonly used for photographs and similar continuous-tone bitmap images. Images are compressed to maintain relatively small file size. This format allows you to control the amount of compression used.
A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is most commonly used for bitmap images composed of line drawings or blocks of a few distinct colors, such as illustrations, cartoons, icons, buttons and text. It uses 256 colors or less. Use the 216-color Web Palette, also known as Browser Safe Palette when creating images for the Web. GIF 89a format supports transparency.
An EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file is a combination of images, graphics and text laid out for standardized printing format. The EPS file format can be used on a variety of platforms, including Macintosh and Windows. It is the preferable format for any logo work a client intends to supply.
Return to top What is a Splash page? A "Splash" page is an introductory page to your website that merely sets the "mood" for your site. It typically consists of a high quality picture and some sort of company logo. Its main purpose is to gain an immediate response from the viewer, enticing them to enter your site. Return to top What are Rollovers? Rollovers are an excellent way of adding dynamic elements to a web page without penalizing browsers that do not support the necessary features. Basically it's an image that can be set to change when you interact with it by doing such things as holding the mouse cursor over it. Return to top Can I have Flash on the site?Yes, the EQUAT professional design staff can develop a Flash presentation for you or we can integrate one you already have.
Return to top Can I change or add tabs after design has been approved?If you are planning to change/add tabs, please make our design team aware of it in advance, as they will be able to make appropriate suggestions. Otherwise there is an additional fee for any changes that occur after you have approved the design for your site. Return to top
