Bandwidth and interaction
Users will not tolerate long delays. Human-factors research has shown that for most computing tasks the threshold of frustration is around 10 seconds. Web page designs that are not well "tuned" to the network access speed of your typical users will only frustrate them. If your users are primarily general public browsers "surfing" the Web via 28.8 kbps phone line connections it is foolish to put huge bitmap graphics on your pages the average user will not be patient enough to wait endlessly while your graphics download over the phone line. However, if you are building a university or corporate Intranet site where most users will be accessing your Web server at Ethernet speeds or better you can be much more ambitious in your use of graphics and multimedia.
