Question: What does it mean to use graphics wisely?

Answer: Images, videos etc. can be a great tool for making your site attractive, drawing visitors' attention to a certain item, showing how to do something, or describing your product or service.  But over-using or illogically placing these tools can confuse visitors and distract them from your message.  Too many graphics can also make your pages load very slowly, which may frustrate visitors.

Solution: Make sure your images or videos are placed in areas where the content is relevant to the graphic.  If you want to use background images to add an artistic flare, make sure they're discrete enough that they don't interfere with the text and make it hard to read.
