Web Sites Triple in Size in Last 5 Years – Realtors Use That Bandwidth!

Average-web-page-growthIn the past if you developed websites you aimed not to alienate the dial up user and those with smaller monitors. Well with the new information out that websites have tripled in size since 2003 and the number of objects on a page doubling, don’t get hung up on those metrics anymore.

The size of the average web page has more than tripled since 2003. From 2003 to 2008 the average web page grew from 93.7K to over 312K (see Figure 1), some 233% (Domenech et al. 2007, Flinn & Betcher 2008). During the same five-year period, the number of objects in the average web page nearly doubled from 25.7 to 49.9 objects per page. Longer term statistics show that since 1995 the size of the average web page has increased by 22 times, and the number of objects per page has grown by 21.7 times. via WebSiteOptimization

If you are still worried about creating your website for those with a dial up connection or a smaller screen you are going to be left far behind with those very same users. Broadband is where we are now and not utilizing the features that broadband offers is going to hurt you, especially if you are a real estate agent. Design for a 1024×768 screen size and use that bandwidth to tell your story as best you can.
