Images are the most important connective tissue of the Internet, informing peoples’ buying decisions, linking content to people, and people to each other. Most businesses wrongly view images as a long-solved problem despite the visual media landscape becoming more complicated and diverse than ever in the last ten years. Getting your images wrong has negative consequences that will compound over time, severely limiting your business in unexpected and resounding ways. The challenges are especially apparent for highly interactive websites with frequent updates and rich multimedia content.
