Effects Using Java Script (without using Flash)
We avoid using Flash for two
very important reasons;
First - Flash is not search engine friendly, so unless there
is a compelling reason to use it; we don't.
Secondly - In most cases our clients cannot
edit Flash so they cannot edit their text or images. With
a little instruction and patience some of our clients have
learned to edit/ manage their own Java Script photos and edit.
Below is a list to websites we have
created and developed using search engine friendly Java Script
without having to use Flash to achieve visually pleasing effects
for text and images.
1) Features an interactive home page
scroller that reacts with a users mouse to move images forwards
or backwards. http://www.designsincva.com/
~ The interior pages feature an interesting
gallery effect that allows a user to mouse over an image to
preview it medium sized and one click to view large size.
