If you're looking to convince someone that a fast loading site is better

than a slow loading one, check out the following -

http://www.pantos.org/atw/35542.html


Main points:


Speed is second only to legibility as the most important consideration in

designing your web site

Users equate speed of download with quality of information

Increased speed = increased traffic


In realtion to examples of sites which understand this, check out

http://www.pwcglobal.com

It's not exceptionally pretty, but it is nicely laid out, laden with good

content and very fast. Compare it with http://www.ac.com - note, in

particular, how annoying the absense of ALT tags on this site is.


Second site, check out http://www.nua.com. Again, good content, and an

attractive, well-organised design to support it. Perhaps my design tastes

lean too much towards function over form, but that's what I consider good

design to be.
