The role of images in a webpage

Web-page designers use images to deliver important information, direct site navigation, and contribute to overall look and feel on a web page. Images in websites may be logos or clickable navigation aids, or they may display content; they can also make a page look prettier or serve to unify or illustrate a page’s theme. A perfect example of the many different ways images can enhance and contribute to web pages is the Edupoly home page at https://edupoly.com, shown below, where the Edupoly logo, photos, and a nice header or navbar appear to good effect. When used well, images are a key element of page design. When used poorly, though, they can make a page unreadable, unintelligible, or frustrating.
