Image component

Why we developed the image component

The Image component provides a straightforward and effective way to include images in your applications, which can be crucial for branding, user engagement, and instructional purposes. Images help to break up text, make pages more engaging, and can be used to illustrate concepts or guide users more intuitively than text alone.

What the image component could be used for

  • Showcasing product features or service details.

  • Enhancing blog posts or articles with relevant visuals.

  • Creating a more engaging user interface with graphical elements.

  • Displaying logos or other branding materials to strengthen identity.

Example \ use case for the image component

An MSP might use the Image component to enhance a tutorial page on their client portal. By incorporating screenshots and diagrams, they can visually guide clients through the steps to set up a VPN or configure email settings on various devices. This not only makes the instructions clearer and more accessible but also reduces the cognitive load on users, potentially decreasing the number of support calls and increasing client satisfaction with the self-service options provided.
