Why You Can’t Just Use A Big Picture For Your Web Page

Search engines cannot read text, which is in pictures.

Pictures take much longer to download onto the users' computer than text It is really hostile to the user to expect them to wait while the white space of a web page downloads. Most will just never visit your web site again.

If you put a 9-inch by 12-inch picture on your web site no one will see it since it will take too long to download onto his or her computer. 4 by 5 inches is about as big a picture as you can have. If you send me a 9-inch by 12-inch picture containing text and I resize it to manageable proportions, 4 by 5 inches, the text will no longer be readable.

In addition to the above I do only quality work and the above is not quality work.
