Web guru Jacob Nielson says: “To gain several minutes of user attention, you must clearly communicate your value proposition within 10 seconds”.
Photos, videos and additional media
Include at least one photo/video. Make sure you complete the alternative attribute for photos, graphs and illustrations – a description for visually impaired web users having the screen read to them.
You may also need to prepare a slide show of photos. You can also embed:
- Tweets
- Facebook status updates
- Audioboom and Soundcloud
- Instagram and Flickr photos
- Vine, Vimeo and Youtube videos
and much more.
You can use your own media or collate others’ media from around the web, or mix the two.
