Photos
If you already have photographs that you want to use on your site, do a quick review of them with your brand image and site's desired feel in mind.
Unless you will be using them for very small thumbnails or icons only, all images should be at least 800 pixels on their longest side and, ideally, 1500 pixels on the longest side. If you expect to use images that fill the screen, you’ll need those to be at least 2000 pixels wide. Refer to http://bit.ly/umh-image-format for further advice on formatting images for use on the web.
Squarespace caters for all sizes of screen, from large computer monitors to small phones, and it will resize images automatically to fit. There are also cropping and other image-adjustment tools built into Squarespace as well.
Make sure your image files are no larger than 1MB, ideally even smaller. JPEGMini is a handy tool that can compress files without a visible loss in image quality. You can access it here: http://www.jpegmini.com
If you don't have photos yet but want to source some, have a look at the following sites for ideas:
- http://www.pexels.com/
- http://www.istockphoto.com/
- https://creativemarket.com/
- http://www.shutterstock.com/
The photos on Pexels are free, but the others are paid sites. You should probably hold off on purchasing photos until you have selected your template in Chapter 3, Working with Squarespace Templates, but you can create a shortlist of photos in an idea board.
