Need help with website backround.

Howzit guys.

I'm trying to get a backround for a website done. However I'm not too sure how to design it and add it into a CSS template. I want the backround image to be certain shape that must be in the center of the website. Now I was going to make an image in photoshop, but this might take a while to load up when a user is using a slow connection?

Any ideas how I would do this?

Thank you.

Even really complicated images can be compressed quite small and still look good.

If you need it in the centre of the page you can create the image, then in the css add it to the div of your choice:

#someDiv {

background: url(path/to/image) center no-repeat;
}

Consider using CSS sprites if you have lots of small images that are taking a while to load.

Oooh very clever. Need to find a way of shoehorning that into my current project
