Image and Video Galleries
Easy to use image galleries are an essential part of any school website. We provide the ability to add and organise image galleries as needed – so that one or more galleries can be associated with a page or news story, for example, and so that image galleries can be nested inside one another (similar to the way folders are organised on a PC).
The images within an image gallery can have date and information attributes, as can each image gallery itself. Each image is automatically displayed as a thumbnail which can be clicked on to see the full size image (within the limits of the screen resolution).
Video streaming can bring the benefits of your to life, making your message clearer, more memorable, persuasive and entertaining. Using videos to deliver a marketing message on line is becoming the norm, not the exception, but takes careful planning and the expertise of an experienced web agency to get it exactly right.
The most important attribute for any media gallery is that the media in it should be easy for visitors to search and quickly find what they’re looking for. This requires any media gallery to be well-structured, to make good use of tags / filtering (which is behind the success of websites such as flickr) and to highlight new additions clearly (as this is what regular visitors – such as pupils and parents – tend to be interested in).
The CMS enables batch uploading of media files – so that coverage of an event, for example, can be uploaded in one go. This is extremely useful when you want to upload 45 images all in one go and don’t want to do each one individually. The CMS also enables images to be uploaded at full (original) size and takes care of resizing the image both in terms of dimensions and file size so that it’s suitable for the web (quality and aspect ratio are of course retained).
Podcasting
Promote the school’s work with a podcast. A school podcast can range from a single recording of an event, such as a visit to the school or a school trip, to a weekly radio show with music and interviews which visitors can subscribe to using an RSS feed.
