The very ease of adding multimedia to web sites is also the reason that so much of it is so bad t hat millions of Web users across the Globe have made SKIP INTRO the second most frequently clicked link on the Internet!

First and foremost:

Don't put stuff on the web just because you can.

Each element of your site should promote your business, not showcase your webmaster's design skills.

The questions to ask, then, are these:

• Will the content improve my visitor's experience on my site?
• Will the content look good and perform correctly on a slower, dial-up connection?
• Will the content make people more likely to buy my products or services?
• If not, is there a reason for having the content on my homepage or is it a waste of valuable space and bandwidth, to say nothing of my visitor's patience and attention span?

An HTML slideshow for your site.

A simple slideshow can work wonders.

The slideshow is a classic example of dynamic website content. A slideshow enables site visitors to click on "thumbnail" images to display full-size images in a window on the same page or in a separate pop-up window. This is a great way to showcase your products

Slideshows can be done in Flash, Javascript or Java, but they can also be done in HTML.

What this means is that as a website owner you have the freedom to choose between flashiness of a Flash or scripted slideshow and maximum usability offered by the HTML slideshow. This, in turn, requires you to know who your visitors and prospective visitors are. We can help with that. Meanwhile, check out this HTML Slideshow of Montevideo, Uruguay. Do it now.
