360° Virtual Tours are immersive environments (java browser required) which let your prospective customers experience scenes of your location or facilities almost as if they were there.

The Wide-Angle Format gives visitors the ability to "turn" (pan) left or right, zoom in or out and see the entire horizon in the surrounding scene. The Full Spherical Format takes this experience one step further by allowing the visitor to "look" in any direction, including straight up and down.

"Static" HTML Web Site Design

Web sites designed using standard HTML documents saved on disk are referred to as "Static" because the web page will be exactly the same each time it is viewed by visitors, until it has been changed manually by the web master.

Using static HTML design does not allow for the customization of web pages based on a visitors requests, personal history, membership, etc., but is often the best option for small to medium sized web sites that do not need to be updated with great frequency or deliver large volumes of content.

By contrast, "Interactive" site design allows for a much more dynamic, personalized experience for each visitor by creating web pages in Real Time that are customized to provide the information (content) they have requested. Interactivity allows personalized web pages, the addition of shopping carts for e-commerce enabled web sites, as well as the creation of vast web sites which utilize databases/template system to tremendously reduce the time and expense of maintaining large web sites

Interactive Web Site Design

Our "Interactive" web site designs utilizes the technique of running a CGI program which dynamically generates web pages in Real Time based on visitors requests, available information, visitor/personal history & preferences, etc. Unlike "static HTML" design, which uses HTML files saved to disk, interactive web sites commonly run a CGI program which prepares web pages for each visitor as they are actually clicking on the web site.

One primary advantage of using an interactive design is to reduce the overall maintainance required on medium sites (20-50 pages) to large sites (hundreds to thousands of pages) by using a template/database driven system, rather than creating hundreds or possibly thousands of static web pages (as files saved on disk) which would each have to be edited manually every time updates were necessary.

Interactive web site designs make it is possible to deliver enourmous volumes of information extremely efficiently, economically and effectively. In this manner it only becomes necessary for the web master to maintain a few HTML templates into which an unlimited amount of information can be displayed and customized based on visitors requests or profile. A single change to a template or database in this system is instantly reflected on EVERY page on the web site where it is used.

Interactive Web Site Administration System

The web site administration system is available for virtual domain, interactive CGI web sites ONLY. This system allows the web site owner to make extensive changes to the actual content of the web site without having to have any knowledge of HTML or web site design.

To use this system the web site owner logs into a special password protected area of the web site that is not available to the general public. After logging in selected information and images may be added, changed or deleted and the changes will be reflected on the web site immedialtely.

This system is especially useful to web site owners who need to make frequent changes to their web site, or for keeping time sensitive information and product listings as up to date as possible.
