Images Versus Text on a Web Page
I have been told by many web owners that they do not want too much text. The reason is that they believe that people do not read all the text. Many have said they prefer to just have images. 
This is a mistake on almost every level.
People that are not that interested in your service or offers will tend to breeze through just looking at pictures or reading the headlines, however when you get a visitor that is interested, they tend to investigate further. Those that are very interested tend to read every word and may go back and reread. Which person do you want to cater to, the one that is not interested or the one the is?
Satisfy them all!
You can at times take a visitor that is mildly interested and turn them into a very interested potential client by feeding both the "does not want to read" and the "must read every word" individual.
If you notice on this page you are reading, there are summaries of each paragraph or little teasers as to what the following paragraph might contain. This will tell the visitor very quickly what the paragraph is about or tickle their curiosity enough to read further. If it is the item or subject that he has come to your site about, there is a very good chance he will then go on to read the paragraphs to get more information.
And while we are at it, lets put in a few images or graphics that break the page up to make it easier to digest the information you want your potential new customer / client to have.
Lets not forget a very important visitor!
One of the most important visitors to you site is not even human, he is Mr. Googlebot. He is Google's™ search robot that scours the web to find sites that people want to visit. Mr. Googlebot does not read pictures or video, he only reads text, and most times every word!
If Mr. Googlebot does not visit your site, it almost becomes irrelevant what you have on your site, so satisfy him by offering plenty of relevant text for him to read!
Call to action closing statement.
After you have completed your message on the page, it is a good idea to have a "call to action" statement and map, meaning you tell your visitor that if they like what they are reading and would like more information, then they can contact you, so I have included a handy mini-contact form over to your left that you can send me a note!
Analysis of this Page
This page has a nice contemporary appearance, very nice for professional firms that don't want a flashy page but do not want to appear old and out of date. It is designed to be very easy to read with supporting graphics interlaced in the text.
The visitor can very quickly determine the subject matter of the page with the heading statements, then if it is a subject they want to learn more about can simply read the paragraphs.
If you fill out the form on the left, you will see a personalized message appear on the screen thanking the visitor for their submission and also informing them that you have sent them an email with your contact information in it.
The site owner then gets a message saying that a visitor has sent them a message from this page, so you know the visitors interest and you know that the page is successful.
