Let’s Have Some Fun!

Is your Web site boring? If so, there are many things you can do to snaz it up. Today’s software and programs make it much easier to add exciting bells and whistles to your site than in years past. Most Web sites are static. You open the page and you view images and writing that just sit there. Sometimes that’s enough; a well-designed Web page can be a thing of beauty. But if you want your viewers to have a more interactive experience, if you would like to direct their attention to certain things on the site or inspire them to follow a particular link to see something else, well, there are things you can do.

Lots of Experience in Flash and Animation
The programmers and expert designs at Nu-Designs Web Marketing have many years of experience in helping businesses take their Web sites up to the next level using movement and animation. Photos can be made to open in a more dramatic fashion such as spinning as they open, for example, or flying in from the side of the screen. Links to other important pages on your site such as a &ldquospecials,” or &ldquonew products” page can be made to blink or change color to draw the eye. A site can be made to fade from the sides and then burst open from the middle of the screen when going from page to page. Sound can be added to any element on your site. Shadowing and a 3-D effect can be included. The possibilities and combinations are literally endless.

Adding Video Means Adding Clients
Nu-Designs programmers and designers can add video directly to your site (adding video can make your site more &ldquosticky,” that is, increase the length of time each viewer stays on a particular page). Or, it’s very easy to upload a video to the popular site, YouTube.com, then add a link on your site to that video. Doing this also means viewers will find you on YouTube as well as your own site, increasing your company’s visibility and driving more sales. We can help you do this.

Classy, Not Annoying
The experts at Nu-Designs understand that when adding elements such as those mentioned above to a Web site, it’s a fine line between doing it in a classy, enjoyable and exciting way, and just having pointless, annoying, distracting things happening on the screen. The following three links show examples of beautiful Web sites with Flash, movement and animation designed by Nu-Designs programmers and designers:

This is an attractive, uncomplicated site with motion and features that catch the eye. Move the mouse over the links at the top of the page and see what happens. Also, notice that photos on several pages change automatically to hold viewer’s interest and highlight the company’s products.

www.primebuyersreport.com
On this site the photos on the home page change continuously, each fading into the next and highlighting a feature of the site. It’s classy, unobtrusive and can easily be incorporated into your Web site.

www.mtouch1.com
This Web site has several great Flash features. It opens quickly with lots of motion, catching the attention and the interest of the viewer immediately. Move your mouse over the photos on the home page and see the prompt. Then click one of the links to another page along the bottom and watch the fun.
