Graphics and Tables

There is a fixed width set in the layout of both the two and three-column template design (see diagram below). Please keep this in mind when adding tables or preparing photos/graphics for your site. Make sure the images or tables do not exceed these dimensions (see diagram below).

Photo/Image Preparation

We recommend using a graphics program such as Photoshop to prepare your images before adding them to your webpages. In Photoshop, choose from the file menu Image -> Image Size and then adjust in the width box to the respective sizes of maximum 540 or 755 pixels (see below) . Note: Set DPI to 72 and make sure "constrain proportions" is checked. Note: 10 pixels smaller in width is usually safer.
