Working with Images

The Foothill College website pages include responsive design, an approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes.

With that comes some restrictions when selecting and sizing images for the various sections on our website.

Best Practices

• Always resize and optimize your images before using on your web page. You can do this in OmniUpdate or a Photo Editor.
• For biography pages, keep the width of the headshot consistent through.
• Select photos that help tell your department story.
• Create descriptions the  describe the image.
• Use the dimension requirements when selecting photos to use for your webiste.
