- JavaScript Slideshow
JavaScript has now replaced flash as the new medium for moving images on the web, flash is an old technology that does not appear on modern mobile phones and tablet devices. When viewing flash websites on Apple products such as the iPhone and iPad there is a big blank space which looks unattractive and visitors to your website will leave without looking at your website. JavaScript however is viewable on iPhone’s and iPad’s and you cannot tell the difference from a layman’s point of view.
JavaScript animation is one of the most effective ways to attract attention online. It has become a popular design and marketing tool and a way to give your business a sophisticated and professional image on the web.
We can tastefully put together images that merge and fade away to be replaced by another – we call this a fade, you can however choose a number of different fade options, as there are many effects such as a wave effect, dots, simultaneous images each fading and overlapping each other, the possibilities are endless!

They can be used for promotions, links or just general funky imagery.

This module allows the user to create news stories or upcoming snippets of information to inform your customers of company-wide developments. It is useful to use this feature and update it on a daily basis as clients will be able to see that your website is constantly being updated. There is nothing worse than clicking on a website that has old news on it, as customers will think that no-one bothers with updating your website and this will deter them from looking any further or buying anything from your website.
News stories can be assigned to either the home page if the module is activated on the home page, or can be set up on any page that you nominate by linking the page to this module.
