It is human nature to be attracted to visuals. If you are considering an information website for your radio station or group, then images are a must-have. Images are more memorable than simple text. They also quickly grab attention, increase clicks, reduce bounce rates, and promote social sharing. Unfortunately, most radio stations do not have the proper photo editing tool to turn legally procured photos into fast-loading web-worthy images.
You might ask why editing images to specific sizes is important when this is not often thought about when uploading images to social media services? Social media apps and services typically edit your images to fast loading sizes on the fly. WordPress websites will do some of this, but since every website is different the results are often not exactly what you would like. For example, the image you upload may look good on the article page, but not cropped well for the homepage list of articles or the large slider. So, it’s important to edit your featured article images appropriately so that your website always looks professional.
