Usable Schools
 

 

Toys and Gadgets - Usable widgets

it has to be said that we in the office do like technology, however when putting widgets on a website we are careful to ensure that they are actually useful and not annoying to the users.

In the past often web designers would find something that look fantastic but don't actually help users. For schools however grabbing someones interest and providing interactivity can aid a younger persons attention.

So what have we got to play with?

Maps! - Google, Microsoft and Yahoo all provide a way of integrating maps onto your website - on the contact page template we let you click and integrate a map. Have a look at what our River View office looks like in Bedford. These are the pages we created when playing with them:

Video! - With video cameras costing less than digital cameras did a couple of years ago, new computers are powerful enough to easily handle simple editing and of course software is included with most new computers (Windows has some free software). A picture can paint a thousand words, how many can a video? Our software allows you to include video on your webpages!

More is going to come soon, were sure that the webs about to evolve quickly and we will ensure that Usable Schools, the School Website CMS will be developed just as quickly.
