Image Manager
Images are an important part of your website. They add interest to the page and catch the visitor’s eye. They break up the visual monotony of text. They evoke thoughts, feelings, and emotions and can convey in an instant what might take a thousand words to describe. Where images on your site are concerned, you might want to add a banner image to the top of every page to advertise an upcoming sale or highlight a category of summer close-out items. You might want to include a picture of your staff on the About Us page. If you operate a pet supply, you might even want to post pictures of your employees’ pets.
Since images are so important, it is also important that you have an efficient way to manage them. It is important that you have an Image Manager.
