Add sizzle to your site. Slideshow Pro and HighSlide

Posted by David | Filed under Design, Ideas, TechSmith, Web

So if you already know of Slideshow Pro and the JS library HighSlide, this is not a tutorial on how to use them together, though I am sure it has been done. This is me singing the praises of two tools that have made my life easier and my sites look better.

On the TechSmith site I used SlideShow Pro on the homepage and man does that look great. On the Camtasia Studio and Camtasia Relay site’s Nick and I used HighSlide and have been getting great feedback on how it works, especially for video.

I am looking to use both on the upcoming MidoriRideShop.com site and maybe if I have a second, I will push these beauties on to my own site.

What tools have you found have added sizzle to your site? I’d love to hear your comments.

Camtasia Studio 6 launch!

Posted by David | Filed under Design, Ideas, TechSmith, Web

This week we launched the new Camtasia Studio 6 and with it, a new site. I was heavily involved in the design and development of the site, though, as is always the case at TechSmith a lot of people pitched in to make sure that this is a successful site.

A quick video walk-through of the site that I will be adding sound and narration to soon.

Heat map results for the initial 5000 visits, via a CrazyEgg test.
