Graphics, when used effectively, can cause user interest. If you don't
use graphics, for either a minimalist look, or just because you feel
images are a distraction - can you give reasons why?
Although images can be a clutter to a site, and if used for navigation
purposes, can cause accessibility issues - effective use will give you
a great looking site. After all, the web is a visual medium for the most
part, and you only have once chance to make your first impression on
your readers.
