Databases: A fully searchable database can be added to your site.

Blogs & Forums: A forum or blog allows visitors to your  site to interact, hold discussions, and ‘post’ general comments and questions or to discuss a common topic of interest.  See Cilcain Show

Email Security.  To reduce the risk of your new email address being targeted with “spam” we can “hide” your address within Java Script coding.

Frames can be included on a page allowing one or more “child” pages to be viewed at the same time from a “parent” page. This works well with tables, allowing the visitor to simultaneously look at and scroll down two or more tables containing, for example, events diaries.  

Hyper links and Hotspots can be set up to take your visitors to other sites (for example a map showing your location or a local weather forecast), or to another location on your site. You can click on Delfryn Design to return to my home page!

Image Mapping allows links to be made to other pages or sites from selected areas of your photographs.  Look at the map on Holywell Golf Club’s site. You can click on many parts of the map to see pictures of that feature.

Password Protection Individual pages (such as members lists) can be password protected.

Search A search box can be included on the home page to search any key words on your site. See this site’s home page.

A flash slide show can be an excellent way of displaying your product range on your home page.

“Having a web site helps you generate a professional image”

Sound. Sound can be added to web pages, but should be used only in limited circumstances. Take a look at “The TurboSnails”  page for an example of how sound can be effectively used.

Photos, Animations or “slide shows” can be used to enhance your visitor’s experience.  To keep your home page fresh, we can arrange for a different image or photo to appear each time a visitor enters your site.

Text special effects can be added such as  Java Script “Get online” image at the top of this page or the “Do you like this text effect” at the bottom of this page. Text effects like these can be useful, but on most sites should be used very sparingly if at all.     

Logos. You can chose from an extensive range of ready made business logos.

Photography. Delfryn Design can carry out digital photography as required.  Most of the photographs on our sites have been taken by us. The number of photographs and their quality determine the time taken to download a page and are therefore processed to be a compromise between quality and reasonable download times.

Video. With improved broadband speeds and DivX processing it is possible to include a short video on your site. Click on the camera to try one!

Where quality photography is important an alternative is to place “thumbnail” images on your page which can be enlarged by the user clicking on them. Check out our Crickhowell Properties site which features several examples of this feature, or click on this thumbnail image of the Cilcain Mountain Race to see a larger better quality photo.

Remember.

“Clever stuff” can add to the appeal of your site, but must not be allowed to distract the viewer from the all important content.
