A Few Examples
A Brief Summary of Features
These websites have all of the features of a BASIC website. The difference is that these websites involve an animated, interactive and entertaining presentation similar to that of a modern television commercial or a short animated film sequence. In fact, the WYSIWYG software that is used to create these types of websites is the same software that is used by the televison advertising industry and the major hollywood production studios.
