Pictures

Penguin Web Solutions has considerable experience of presenting pictures and other graphics in websites.   Images can be placed with text or appear on separate pages, and can appear within the same window or frame or in separate pop-up windows.   The alternatives for producing images is discussed in the section on Content.

Pictures can be presented in groups in smaller formats referred to as thumbnails, which may be clicked to produce a larger image of the same picture, either replacing the page or appearing in a separate window.

With Internet Browsers it has always been possible for the viewer to change text size, particularly when higher screen resolutions have been selected to improve legibility, but with graphics an image is displayed at its pixel dimensions.  For higher screen resolutions the image appears proportionally smaller.  Penguin Web Solutions has developed a unique method of presenting images such that they appear at the same relative size on a screen independent of the viewer's screen resolution.   This feature is currently implemented for 1024 × 768 and 800 × 600 display resolutions, but is capable of being extended to higher resolutions.   Analysis of website hit statistics shows that the majority of browsers use one of these two resolutions.   We can offer this facility for images on a site; if implemented an additional cost per picture is applied.

Penguin Web Solutions can also undertake the production of simple animations.   'Marquee' banners can be incorporated if required.

More complex animations, whilst feasible are more expensive to program, can be produced if the client believes they would enhance the site.
