  • Main menu – Currently a single level menu that can load content or external links. planning a multi level menu for the future versions. Located at the bottom of the site
  • Backgound switcher/slideshow - This is a fullscreen slideshow that suports both videos and images. Rsides on the left side of the stage
  • Various sections and features:
Alternative HTML page
  • This page is used keeping SEO in view
  • Search engines will find this page useful to index the content of the site as they find it difficult to index flash content
  • Also, visitors who do not have Flash player plugin installed on their browser will be shown this page with a link to install Flash player
  • The HTML page is generated dynamically from the same XML files used to generate the Flash website. So you don't have to worry about maintenance of the HTML page. Change the content of the XML files and...VOILA!...the content of the HTML page is also updated
  • Uses PHP 5.0 and server side XSLT to generate the HTML page
