A photo that is worth 1000 words
Incorporating photos into your content creation can massively enhance its visual appeal and engagement. When using photos, it’s good to make sure they are relevant to the message you want to send and resonate with your target audience, e.g., through personal characteristics like skin color.
High-quality images that align with your brand’s identity and unique tonality can effectively capture attention and convey emotions.
The elephant in the room is always optimizing the size and format of photos for web usage, but remember that it is crucial to maintain fast loading times and a seamless user experience. What’s more, keep in mind that alt text and descriptive file names can contribute to improved accessibility and search engine visibility. Strive to be inclusive!
