The problem with designing your site as a graphic, is that
it would take too long to load. Your visitors would leave
your site immediately and move to your competitors web
site. How can you resolve this?

Slicing graphics into a number of sections, then putting
them together in tables is a great way to layout your web
site. It cuts down on the time for providing a quick design
for a potential client. It also allows you to bring
elements of your site together that would be difficult to
do with tables.

The value of slicing graphics

Reduces site loading time - a large graphic or many
graphics on one web page will slow down your loading time
considerably. Slicing graphics will allow each piece to
load separately and at a faster rate.

Easy layout and design - web pages usually consist of
headlines, photos and text which must all fit together to
create a design that is aesthetically pleasing for your
visitors. When you create a web graphic it always must have
a rectangular space. You are limited to placing graphics
and text in a rectangular form. However, if you slice the
graphic into pieces, you can then place these pieces into
the cells of a table on your web page.
