Image Mapping Tool
Yes, that is right. an image
mapping tool in a sitebuilder. We preach and preach how our
sitebuilder is not like anything else out there and the advanced
webmaster tools just go to a new level. But when you see an image
mapping tool you know we have gone where other sitebuilders just
fall short.
If you are not a webmaster and
wonder what an image map is, it is this simple. You can upload a
single photo often adorned with text or messages that you want to
link to pages or websites. In most cases you can only link the
entire image to one link.
With an image map you can map
out different areas and shapes on the image and link them to
different locations. One good example
of an image map is this clickable
map of the United States. The image
is just one image but each state links to a page about starting a
business in that state. This is normally a very complex process
assigning coordinates to points on the images and link locations
into an image map. There are some very advanced tools for
creating these maps but who want to buy them, install it and
learn how to use it when you only need to link an image or two?
The online tool lets you
create image maps for any of the images on your website including
the titlepsace at the top of your pages. That means you can drop
and drag text layers over your image then link them to email
address, contact forms, website pages and so on.
For the webmasters reading
this, you know what a headache it is to create image maps, get
the link paths correct and meet all the web browser compatibility
issues to make it work on IE, Mozilla, Safari, Opera and all the
others. So having a tool online, that inputs the code for you is
just a dream.
The fact is, most webmasters
just avoid image mapping altogether because of the issues and
difficulty level. With this image mapping tool anyone can do it
and in just seconds.
If you are a webmaster you are
wondering how a do it yourself sitebuilder can reach these levels.
Maybe you have been sleeping for the last few years, but people
are getting smarter and they want more out of their websites. The
tools we are developing online are tools that once did not exists
because of demand. Now our customers are demanding it and we have
responded with a full suite of advanced tools.
These advanced tools can make
developing top tier websites a snap for experienced webmasters,
these tools will make your job easier so that you can spend your
time on design and providing the most for your client for the
least amount of money.
Are we taking money out of the
webmasters pocket by giving the average user these types of tools?
We don't think so. We think webmasters will adapt just as the
hosting market has adapted to the changes in demand.
There will always be a need
for experienced webmasters and our online site builder tools will
