Tips for gradient imagery

Pick photos with consistent lighting and color temperature so a page feels designed rather than assembled. Compress JPEGs to WebP or AVIF before publishing, add descriptive alt text (for example "A smooth pastel gradient background featuring soft and light colors perfect for ") and reserve the aspect ratio with width and height attributes to avoid layout shift.
