Utilising Video With Your Website Design

(No Ratings Yet)

Filed under: About Web Design by Gareth @ 9:03 am

One of the main differences between print design and web design is that print design is flat. When a print design has been finished and printed, it exists on the page and does not allow interaction with the end user. A web design, by contrast, is fully interactive and can engage the user on every level. Web design moves, grows and evolves over time.

One of the best ways of engaging a user of a website is with the use of video. As video encryption technologies have become better, allowing for smaller file sizes, faster downloading and sharper picture quality, video within web design has become more common. In addition to this, the surge in popularity of websites such as YouTube has enabled web designers and web developers to use these websites to host video files and use them in their web designs.

For example, instead of uploading a video to a website and playing it from the server, web designers can now use YouTube to host a video file which saves in bandwidth and server space. YouTube also acts as a marketing tactic and attracts traffic to your website.

Web designers can also use Flash to house video, allowing it to be played on demand, or when the visitor accesses the website; further enhancing the interactive nature of the web design. At Click Consult, we know how to create interactive websites that engage your visitors and ensure that they come back again and again.
