A big site slims down.

bigasalloutdoors.com is the destination site for some of the largest expos in the Denver area. The size experiences a strong surge in traffic during its show season from January to April. Expos On Line fine tuned the site so pages load faster and work better.

Web Standards Save the Day

The biggest savings were provided thanks to web standards. The front page of bigasalloutdoors.com was slimmed down thanks to technologies such as CSS and image optimization. The result is a page that is less than half its previous size, with a load time just one fifth of what it used to be.

Smaller pages have benefits. First, they lower the waiting time for visitors. Second, they cut down on bandwidth costs - saving bigasalloutdoors.com money, while allowing their site to support more visitors every show season.

In addition, the programming language PHP was used to ensure site consistency and make working with the site easier. We are working on implementing a mySQL database to support all of the information on bigasalloutdoors.com.

Text, Not Images

Differences between images and text.

One of the biggest benefits for the front page is being spread to the rest of the size: using text, stylized with CSS, instead of images for links.

Text is faster to load and as a bonus, is fully indexed by search engines such as Google. Google doesn't "read" images, so any text in those images is lost.

Online Box Office

In addition to these improvements, Expos On Line also provides bigasalloutdoors.com its online box office. Visitors can purchase admissions online securely and easily.
