Redesign Image Requirements

Take Your Website to the Next Level

Play to your strengths. If you have breathtaking scenery, landscape photos often make beautiful websites. If not, photos featuring people often give the website a human element. Think about the message you’d like to send through your site and reflect that through your images.

Size and Quality

• Images should be at least 2200 pixels wide (or 1 MB in size)
• Non-manipulated imagery will yield the best results (no Photoshop effects or cropping)
• File Types: JPEG, TIFF, PSD, PNG (GIF format is not recommended)
• Resolution: 72 dpi or higher
• Color Mode: RGB or CMYK (we can easily convert CMYK to RGB)

Recommended Subject Matter

• People & Activities
• Parks (if possible, parks that are not void of activity or people)
• Landscapes & Cityscapes
• Culture & Art
• Nature & Animals

Composition & Recommendations

• Good images have an area of interest, include simple shapes, and create an impression or elicit emotion
• Provide images that can be used any time of the year. For instance, do not provide holiday imagery, businesses, churches, etc if you do not want them displayed on the homepage.
