You do that probably to avoid spam, but whoever contacts you and know your email address may anyway have viruses or may sign up onto spammy websites such as LinkedIn or others and provide all their contacts to third party. Third party can sell email addresses to other companies, or crackers can steal databases. Thus with the email address as image you avoid nothing as webmaster. It is better if you let people contact you straight by clicking on the email address. To avoid spam you may assign email addresses such as being 1, 2 or 3 etc. 1. In January is welcome1@example.com 2. In May, maybe it becomes welcome2@example.com, disable welcome1@example.com when you start receiving some considerable spam. 3. Continue by this pattern For HTML you do as this: For any inquiries simply send email to us. Such email address is then specific for website inquiries only. People do many things to avoid spam and thus also avoid customers. Allow customers to contact you by one click and swallow some possible spam. When you see too many spam, just update the website with new email address such as welcome2@example.com and disable the other one as it was dedicated for website only. Jean
