Engrossing Content
The purpose of this example is to demonstrate
scrolling content on a web page. When possible,
you shouldn't force your visitors to use their
browser's scroll bars (vertically or horizontally)
and you can provide a more visually-appealing
user interface by scrolling the content within
a smaller area (by using tabbed controls).
The main design goals are to provide an engaging
visitor experience and to display your content in a
seamless manner. There are several examples on the
tabs herein that might appeal to you and make your
site easier to navigate.
By combining several of the user interface controls
currently available, we can easily create the kind
of user interface that is capable of presenting
your content to the public in an attractive AND
seamless manner.
Give Your Content Life
Horizontal and vertical scrolling can be applied to any content. You can scroll using navigational buttons, keyboard arrow keys and the mouse scroll wheel (try them all and see for yourself). Where links or image file viewers are not required, you can click on the content in a panel and the next panel will scroll into view. The number of items scrolled at once is also customizable.
Tabbed navigation like this is an excellent technique for minimizing the use of scroll bars within a page and presents a linear and more seamless user interface to your visitors. Dynamic or static content is supported and we have the ability to customize the entire interface. It can be extended in numerous ways and once your visitors learn to interact with it, their user experience will be dramatically improved.
The controls and techniques we apply to user interface design are tried and true and the end result is a highly intuitive and easy to navigate website. Your customers, clients and/or guests will LOVE it and will keep coming back for more!
Embedding & Viewing Images
As with any other web page, you can embed
images and image viewers within a tabbed
panel. You can display content in a variety
of interesting and useful ways that will
captivate your visitors and keep them
returning to your website again and again.
Gone are the days of boring, static content
that leaves your visitors with nothing more
than a 'ho-hum' reaction. Instead, give them
something that will keep them interested in
your content and present it to them in ways
that will keep them engaged.
By removing the mundane from your site,
you'll give your visitors a more feature-
rich and enjoyable experience.
Customizing the Look & Feel
The content within these tabbed panels can be instructional, informative or designed simply to grab your visitor's attention. The goal is to keep your website viewers interested in your content, for as long as possible. By presenting a unique and interactive set of user interface elements that are state-of-the-art, your visitors will be more likely to 'poke around', just to see what else you might have in store for them (literally).
The best things about all these user interface controls and techniques is that they can be combined. By combining various elements, your site will become the stage for your products and/or services; a stage who's only limitations are your imagination.
Don't limit yourself to the ordinary or mundane. Let
Brookings Web Design help you create a website that will captivate your visitors and keep them coming back for more.
