What makes the site more attractive to its visitors? I'm sure you know the answer: great content and appealing look. Now let's talk about the look. Today more and more people take advantage of new technology and add video for their web sites to make them more appealing.

Do you also need it? It depends on several things. There are still many sites that look great without video. People search for written information, and good, interesting content accompanied with professional looking, original design will still work for your site and attract your visitors. But in many cases today video is a most effective way to impress people.

You can introduce yourself to potential customers, promote your new product or service, show an exciting real life episode... Here are only a few examples of where you can use it:

Cooking site - you can demonstrate how to prepare a special meal or how a new cookware appliance works.

Fitness - it's extremely difficult to explain an exercise through the text, but with video you may do it quickly and easy.

Do-it-yourself sites, e-lessons... You can continue the list.

So, before putting video on your web site ask yourself these questions:

Will it convey my idea better than text message or image?

If you've already got great text and/or picture for your purpose, badly made video can only spoil the impression and you may lose visitors and, perhaps, your potential customers. So at first, try to make quality, professional looking video, short but informative at the same time.

Will the video change the site's speed?

Sometimes video can make the site run slower than usual and your visitors can lose their patience and leave the site without viewing your great project. That's why it is so important to make the right decision about how many videos to put on your web page, where to place them and which software to use for it.
