Web Designers |
| If you're in the market for developing highly interactive web sites we've got a one-stop solution for you. A Villamation complementary server allows you to add functionality with absolutely no DHTML, Javascript, ASP or SQL experience, and at an incredibly low price. All you need to be able to do is use standard HTML to layout your pages and add content. The home page of the RealFreeZone web site is a prime example. On it we have an embedded window complete with interactive image mapping, panoramic views and 3D models, Google Maps™ and scrolling text descriptions. There's a gallery view of the latest weblets and an automated slideshow, both of which allow selection of a weblet to be displayed within the embedded window* or as a new window. When opened in a new window the user is able to register his email address and chat LIVE to the owner of your web site - you can even receive notification of new users and send them a welcome eMail. All of this, without exception, is made possible by copying and pasting small snippets of code created on a Villamation server. Click here to see what this HTML page looked like before the code snippets were added (we've included a border on the table to show the structure). If you View the Page Source you will see the code between the <!-- and --> tags. |
Hidden problems |
| You may already be aware of a reluctance from some host providers to implement third-party System Objects on a hosted server, especially if it's shared, and adding a licence yourself can be really expensive. Then there's the research and development cost of testing the code, talking to the proprietor, requesting changes, all of which can easily take you over budget if it's your first time. Then you're faced with the problem of compatibility - something that works just fine on Internet Explorer doesn't want to play on Firefox, or vice versa. With a pre-configured server from Villamation you're sure of compatibility from the server right through to the most popular browsers on Windows and Mac. |
Complete transparency |
| To add to the illusion, your Villamation server is configured to your primary color and font, so the weblets, gallery views and search pages look like they originate from your own web site. You can also change the color, font and background of individual weblets to complement their content, promote special offers, or just for the fun of it. |
Powerful administrator functions |
| Your own server comes with its own Administrator's Console from where you are able to maintain complete control over access to accounts, weblets and files. You can create your own contact groups, assign housekeeping functions to individual users and track where and when weblets are accessed by individual weblet, web page or web site by month, day of week and hourly, year on year. |
Expand your repertoire ... |
| If you've ever tried creating a <map> tag for use with an image you'll appreciate how tedious a job it can be. Well, we have designed a really simple interface for you to add mulitple, layered active maps to any image. And you'd be surprised how easy it is to create 3D models using Google SketchUp™, which can be used to generate professional 2D floor plans as well as animated 3D weblets. Combine the two in the Weblet Editor to add fully interactive floor plans with links to descriptions, photos and panoramic views. Check out this weblet to see how. Our online tutorials don't just show you how to add code to your web site, they include step by step instructions on how to generate the content as well. |
