Site tour - Site demo in10

21 06 2007

      You need to make a site demo and that too fast then this is the thing for you, Demofuse. Upon signup you get a small piece of javascript that has to be included in each of pages that show in the demo and from then on you can start creating your demo. A small flash based editor lets you create the demo slideshow style , you can add navigation, highlights, animated arrows and it even comes with customizable templates and  colors. Its a great product and really fast - my own demo took me less than 10 to create.

Another great product that you can use is AmberJack. This small 4kb open source javascript library can be included in almost every page and is extremely easy to use. This could be a great alternative if you don’t want to depend on a third party site for a tour. You can do things yourself; not in 10 ofcourse :-)

Have fun creating site tours and demos .





Personal Photo Album in10

11 05 2007

Picture this : You have your own website and want to have a photos section for the same, but you already have your pics on flickr that you would like people to see. You don’t want to take people to flickr to see your photos, instead you need a quick way of putting your photos on your site.

splashr can do that and in under 10 minutes and provide you a variety of interfaces to your photos from flash to html.

1. Go to splashr.com

2. Give your userid, email id or even some tags for public photos and select how many photos you want to be shown

3.  Select one of the existing templates that wish the photos to appear in, my favorite being one of the flash frames. Click next.

4. Here you get a public link for your photos presentation, but if you wish to use the photos on your own site, click onUse this Presentation on your own site

5. Next screen will give you some code, that you copy paste onto your myphotos.html or your homepage itself and then upload the changed file to your site.

Voila you have your own photo show with jazzy features with absolutely no effort.

Estimated Time Taken : 30 seconds ( thats fast)
