Photo backgrounds have been a trend in web design for quite a while. Web designers love big images because they are great for expressing ideas and making statement and they look good. Website visitors love big images because they attract attention and they look great. I think it’s safe to say photo background trend is gonna stay with us for a while yet.

You might think that photo backgrounds are only used on art and photo portfolios. That’s not exactly true, a relevant photo can be use at the background of any website, be it industrial business or toys online store. The key here is – the photo has to be relevant to the business, reflect its main goal and specialization.

Here are some more points to consider when using a photo background:

High resolution. The photo you use at the background has to be high quality and high resolution, it won’t do you any good if the background on your website is indecipherable or shows pixels.

Responsiveness. If you use a photo background you need to make sure it is responsive, just as the rest of your website. Imagine a website with unresponsive image at the background. It’s a disaster for you and a very bad user experience for mobile visitors.

Relevance. It’s been said above already, but I think it’s good to repeat this – the photo you use has to reflect your business. An industrial website with flowers at the background will just look silly, don’t you think?

Load time. Check if the background image slows your overall load time. If it doe – either don’t use a photo background or find a way to make it faster. Lazy load is a great way to assure the fast load for example.
