Creating and Updating Gov Info Webpages

consider your audience:
- 47% of all adult Americans have broadband at home
- but 23% still use dial-up
- cited from: http://www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Broadband%202007.pdf
speed can be affected by:
- image resolution/size
- documents (PDFs, MS Office)
- multimedia (video, audio)
best practices:
- Limit your use of these files
- Provide alternate forms of the same information
  - (for example, provide a text transcript for a video)
- Keep your images, documents, and multimedia small
  - dial-up connections may get about 7k/second, so consider:
    - average website, including images: 50k = 7 seconds to download
    - average mp3 (audio file) is about 4m = 9.5 minutes to download
