As broadband
becomes more and more prevalent, multimedia will become more and
more important as a preferred media for presenting information on
the internet. Here at Byte Size Concepts we have placed a particular
emphasis on providing this kind of content for our clients.

What
is Multimedia?
The term Multimedia has been thrown around by so many different
sources meaning so many different things. We view Multimedia
as a method of presenting information using a variety of dynamic,
interactive, animated, or streaming technologies.

Flash
- Here at Byte Size Concepts we specialize in the use of Flash
to create a visually dynamic and appealling presentation of
your message. It is here that we are able to incorporate full
screen animations and visual effects, complete with sound over
slower 56K connections. |
 |
Audio/Video
- Although the technology is a bit ahead of the
bandwidth needed, short clips of audio and video can go along
way to providing the right information to your clients that
just can't be done via a text. |
 |
CD Presentations - We get many requests
to create marketing based presentations that simply do not lend
themselves to the internet. Without the bandwidth limitations
of the internet, we are able to utilize many of the same technologies
to create stunning dynamic presentations for use with CD media.
These presentations can then be used as CD business cards, a
CD the size of a business card containing your presentation.
Amazingly, these small odd shaped CD's will actually play in
most any computer CD drive. |

Screen Savers - Giving away FREE Screen
savers can be a great way to give your audience something that
will both promote your company and give the user a way to visually
enhance their desktop. This can also be an added incentive for
your users to register with your site, thus building your own
list of qualified leads. |

Why
do I need it?
More and more
users are becoming bored with the plain ol' static sites of the
past. Now people are coming to expect more from web sites. Adding
dynamic and interactive content will leave a lasting impression
on your audience. If done right, it can better convey your message
to your audience and intice them to learn more about you, your company,
and your products.
