Here are just a few examples of your options:\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Images<\/strong>: That old cliche is true &ndash; a picture is worth a thousand words. High-quality images say a lot and take up little space. Images can also help break up blocks of text and make the site visually appealing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Videos<\/strong>: Videos are a great way to showcase your products or services, provide tutorials or demos, or even just introduce yourself. They&rsquo;re popular and also highly shareable, increasing your website&rsquo;s reach and visibility even more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Infographics<\/strong>: Infographics are a visual way to present complex information or data. They&rsquo;re often more engaging and memorable than text &ndash; in fact, they&rsquo;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.demandsage.com\/infographic-statistics\/#:~:text=Infographic%20Usage%20Statistics.&amp;text=60%25%20of%20businesses%20have%20used,of%20infographics%20twice%20a%20week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">30 times <\/a>more likely to be read than text! They can also help position your business as an authority in your industry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audio<\/strong>: Adding audio elements like music or podcasts can help you create a unique brand identity and connect with your audience on a more personal level. Just make sure any audio you use is high-quality and relates to your brand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Animations<\/strong>: Animations, like GIFs or short videos, can add a fun and playful element to your website. They&rsquo;re great for highlighting important points, adding humor, or just making your site more visually interesting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Subtitles and alt text<\/strong>: These make your website more accessible for people with hearing and visual challenges. Not only does this show you care about all of your customers equally, but it makes practical sense, too. Alt text can help increase your website rankings!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<\/p><div class=\"gallery-lightbox-section mobile-full-width\" data-eventcategory=\"content-element\" data-eventaction=\"image-gallery\">\n <div class=\"gallery-lightbox-wrapper\">\n\n <div class=\"gallery-header\">\n <h2 class=\"gallery-header-title\">\n Amy's Website: Then and Now <\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"gallery-header-content\">\n <div class=\"click-text\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-content\/themes\/wbe\/dist\/img\/svg\/expand-icon.svg\" alt=\"expand icon svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\">\n <span>\n Click the image below to expand <\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"close-btn-block\">\n <button class=\"close-btn\">\n Close <\/button>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"content-gallery\">\n <div class=\"content-gallery-carousel glider\">\n \n <div class=\"content-gallery-carousel-item\">\n <button class=\"item-img-wrapper\" data-eventlabel=\"image-enlarge\">\n\t <img src=\"https:\/\/images.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20015935\/website-updates-Amys-before.jpg?width=880&amp;height=400&amp;fit=crop\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Amy's website homepage with an outdated design\" width=\"880\" height=\"400\" data-caption=\"\" class=\"flexi-comp-img\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, \"> <\/button>\n\n <div class=\"gallery-item-caption\">\n <span>\n Six years ago, Amy's website homepage featured a narrow menu which felt a bit cluttered. <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"content-gallery-carousel-item\">\n <button class=\"item-img-wrapper\" data-eventlabel=\"image-enlarge\">\n\t <img src=\"https:\/\/images.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20015932\/website-updates-Amys-after.jpg?width=880&amp;height=400&amp;fit=crop\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Amy's website homepage with a new, more modern design\" width=\"880\" height=\"400\" data-caption=\"\" class=\"flexi-comp-img\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, \"> <\/button>\n\n <div class=\"gallery-item-caption\">\n <span>\n Amy&rsquo;s website has changed a lot over the last six years.

I love copywriting for ecommerce, website, automation, and website brands and I\u2019ve ghostwritten and content strategised for some of the largest multinational brands in the world. I have years of writing experience for the BBC, including documentaries, scripts, and Twitter campaigns. With such a wealth of experience to draw on, some of my best work on Website Builder Expert focuses on topics such as ecommerce strategies, marketing tips, and small business advice. I hope you enjoy my articles!"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
