Build your Flash Website

Build your Flash Website at the March Online Seminar by Ycademy and get prepared for a smashing wow effect. In a small series of posts I will provide information about the content needed at the Seminar.

Background Images

To build a great looking flash site, we need great images, namely for the backgrounds. Every tab in the menu can trigger its own background for the target page. The choice of pictures will depend on the theme of the site; your imagination is the limit.

The background acts like the setting or the stage for your content. It could be nature, places, spaces, most anything.

Some examples:

Meet me at the beach

evo109

Meet me at the Beach

Meet me in front of the church

eglise1

Meet me in front of the Church

Meet me at the Ouzo Place

ouzo

Meet me at the Ouzo Place

Background Dimensions

Semiomantics Evolution will give the best surfing experience in full-screen view. The background image will therefore follow the size of the screen and its resolution and we need to load rather large pictures.

The above images come straight out of the digital camera or mobile phone. The raw file is over 3000 pixels wide. I have reduced them to about 1700 pixels wide and decreased the output quality to end up with background images of about 1700 x 1275 pixels and a weight of below 100 kb.

The above backgrounds can be seen at the Evolution Site HERE.

How to format background images as per above?

We will show step by step how to deal with a large image in order to format it for the purpose of the Evolution site at tonight’s call at yorGOtalk.

See you there.

Build your Flash Website

This month, the Ycademy Online Seminar will focus on building a flash powered website along the lines of the Semiomantics Evolution script as seen HERE.

The site can be used as a showcase, a media portal, a gallery or as a site with static content.

Goal

Participants will build a flash driven website for personal use. At the same time the exercise will allow participants to add a new product to their catalog.

Background

Not all internet users need a blog and not every blogger likes the limitations of dynamic content sites such as WordPress. In a media oriented society, where visual expression becomes the main means of communication, the quality of the presentation is of paramount importance.

Flash compression is an interesting way to present images or videos in a smashing way. New flash based templates allow to populate and to manage flash driven websites without engineering the flash frames, i.e. without deep knowledge of flash technology.

The actual content of the site is imported via xml files which are accessible by search spiders. The advanced use of this technology enables users to project flash driven sites to Google Top 10 listings much easier than sites where flash encapsulates 100% of the content.

Semiomantics Evolution

Semiomantics Evolution is a product line which will become available to customers later this month. The basic site frameworks in flash are licensed software; content is provided by the customer or elaborated in collaboration with a web designer who will then embed text and media in the flash environment.

The product line is commercially interesting for Semiomantics designers, since the bulk of the final cost arises from value added by the web designer or site developer.

Google Top 10 Tuning

A site, which shows only the home page in Google’s search returns has a major problem, namely if it’s a WordPress powered site, since the site lives from its dynamic content.

Boruch Rappaport’s Consulting Site was such a case before it has been tuned by the Semiomantics Site Smith.

Google Top 10 Ranking

The high ranking was not a major problem on the site, since it is running on a Semiomantics script. Semiomantics scripts are tuned for high ranking.

Boruch Rappaport Consulting

Google Indexing

The main problem was the indexing, whereas Google just stuck to the home page. We therefore needed to get the site re-indexed, however we wanted to choose the wayGoogle should index the site.

The Choice

For easier use and more flexibility we wanted to make sure that the site be indexed under the tags as well as under the category slugs. A shot at the chronological archive was to test our ability to optimize the indexing in an archive targeted way. This could be applied to any archive, such as date, author, tag, category and so on, however by over-stretching the scope you risk to over-publish the same post, which Google won’t appreciate.

The Results

After Semiomantics site tuning, this is the result (the selected search term serves only to demonstrate in a transparent way what’s actually being triggered on Google):

boruch-google1

Google Top 10

1   The Archive by date shows as intended.

2   The most important: the single post page.

3 – 6 Under more results, you get first the tag ‘boruch rappaport’, then some other tags

7  Finally another archive based on the date, this time for another post.

Semiomantics Site Tuning Services

Optimized indexing is a pre-requisit for top ranking under the targeted key-phrases. Semiomantics tuning services are focusing on each customer’s needs and targets. Sometimes the results show up very rapidly, others, like in the present case it may take 2 or 3 weeks to reach the high impact as demonstrated above.

For site tuning, contact Semiomantics to discuss your project.

Elegant Fonts on WordPress

One of the main elements of the look of a site is the Typeface.  I am testing different solutions to force the desired font view.

Helvetica on WordPress

At present a Helvetica font is on display, visible even for visitors who do not have Helvetica installed on their computer.

Multiple Elegant Fonts

The next step will be to use different multiple fonts, eventually with text decorations and variants.

More later.
