Picture preferences - 2/17/2001 20:32:00
Hi,I'm starting a site today for a company that sell kitchen and bathroom accesories, ceramics, tiles etc. They've given me some beautiful photos to scan - large and very colourful. To be able to do them justice, presentation is going to be very important. Obviously, I'm going to have a smaller photo linked to a larger one with up to 5 small ones on a page. Problem is can't decide whether to have the pictures appear in a new window or as a pop-up. As users rather than graphic pros, which option do you prefer on a site? Thanks for your time. Cheers

I think this is one of the few times I would use a pop up as it shouldn't annoy in this circumstance. It is just as easy to turn of the pop-up as it is to be sent to a new page and then have to hit the back button to get back to the selection. I would think it would it could make comparison shopping a bit easier too.JMHO ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/smile.gif") I'm in the home improvement mode right now moving to a new house - and that's how I would prefer it. Fast and easy to compare. Marr

Hi,Thanks Sandy and Marr. Glad you thought the pop-up was ok as that's what I thought as well. A further question - what do you think is the maximum width for the window and file size for the photo? Cheers

The ideal situation would be to have it large enough to view the details of the tile - yet small enough so that it doesn't cover the other selections or pop-up links.That may be asking for too much - but that's what I would shoot for. Marr ------------------

Hi Andy,As an avid internet shopper, I would also suggest pop up pictures. One of my favorite sites that you may want to look at, the design is terrific, I think, and it's easy to navigate is http://www.homedecorators.com
Marr, you may be interested in them too with your new home. They have a great rug selection.

Great site Bonnie. I wish I would have found it sooner. I wish I would have seen it sooner. I bought four rugs last week and found a few on the site I would rather have instead. Isn't that the way it always is? Marr

Hi Andy, as a dedicated shopper, I prefer to see small images to get an idea of the style rather then wait fo a pop up to see if it's what I'm looking for.How about a pop-up for the larger pic? ------------------
If you can't laugh at yourself you might be missing the joke of a lifetime.

Hi, Shan -I think that's just what Andy has in mind. I agree with all of you. The popups that are annoying are those that automatically come up when entering a site ...especially those that keep appearing each time you return to the home page. Popups to show larger images in detail upon clicking on the smaller "preview" image are great. Linda ------------------
