2,465 PointsHTML and CSS image sizing and connecting to Wordpress
I have few questions re HTML and css:
Image resizing, do I need to resize images in CSS or before adding to CSS in Photoshop. I read somewhere that if I use large images and then resize with CSS, the loading time will be longer. What’s the best practice. If I need to resize them what are the best sizes for body and banners.
I’m building the site with html/ css but the site will be quite dynamic with a content updates regularly. I’d like to the connect to Wordpress. Is this advisable? I’m reading that I’d have to create my theme on Wordpress. But I’d like to know if anyone has done it.
Thank you

Wordpress would be the way to go if you need to update the content regularly. Wordpress does have a function that will resize your images to the dimensions you specify.
Read through the Wordpress codex. Loads of useful info on there. https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Here’s the image link for the resize functions too https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/
