Designing websites for the Alaska market requires more than visual polish. It requires performance budgets tailored for geostationary satellite connections and weak rural LTE networks.
Core Design Rules
- Keep Asset Sizes Small: Avoid heavy images and dynamic background videos that lock up slow connections.
- Prioritize System Fonts: System-wide fonts load instantly, skipping external font server delays.
- Use Vector Graphics: SVG vector shapes scale cleanly without adding heavy image bytes.
