Update Your Website: Changing Your Site's Multimedia Content Delivery

Multimedia content delivery is a very big consideration for any website. If you're streaming or offering multimedia content from your own server, you're likely utilizing a great deal of bandwidth to do it. There are improved ways of delivering content compared to what was available in the past. Having a professional web designer take a look at this and see if there are improvements that could be made could be very beneficial for you when you update your website.

Formats

If you started offering video or audio on your site a long time ago, there's a good chance that you're using a format that may not be optimal. When formats for streaming improve, it's generally an improvement in compression. If you are using very large files to deliver content, you may be consuming unnecessary bandwidth for no appreciable benefit. Having a web design expert take a look when you update your website at how you are delivering content in terms of format may reveal that you have a lot of options available for reducing bandwidth without compromising quality.

Off-Site

If you have content on your website that is available from another website that allows you to embed, you may want to switch to that model of delivery when you update your website. A good example of this would involve the site YouTube. If you have a promotional video available on the YouTube site, there's no sense in having it delivered directly from your own servers. Simply switching this content to an embedded form when you update your website may allow you to save on bandwidth and provide no form of diminishment in service to the people who visit your site.
