Content Management Systems are used for media library sites, online archives, and galleries to make the publication and distribution of multimedia files online more simple. Touch and Click specializes in the creation of media libraries for businesses and non-profits using CMS platforms. Photo galleries can be configured with standard display of images in web pages using .jpg, .gif, or .png formats, or advanced lightbox features can be implemented that use a pop-up display in the browser to serve images from thumbnails. We have a number of image gallery options using Flash scripts, and for large volume, collective user galleries we recommend a mySQL database approach. Gallery2 is the industry standard for Open Source user galleries, and Touch and Click builds professional websites with Gallery2 both as a stand alone application and as an integrated part of CMS programs like Joomla and Drupal. These Content Management Systems give a lot of flexibility for the display and search of image archives, and allow you to use gallery images in blog posts, side blocks, and slideshows to build your site design in an integrated manner.
Touch and Click builds media library sites for podcasts and audio files as well as images. If you have a collection of audio files you need streamed, archived, and syndicated on the web, contact us for more details on how to implement this in a CMS website. Audio files and podcasts can add a dimension to your web presence that sets your site apart from other similar sites on the web, and CMS websites can be configured to manage user submitted audio files as well as the files from your own collection. We support MP3, MP4, and WMA formats for most audio files, and have experience in setting up websites for streaming music using ColdFusion and Shoutcast server technologies. Radio stations or announcers who would like to build an online archive of their shows, or stream live broadcasts over the web can contact us to learn more about setting up these types of advanced solutions. We offer dedicated and vps servers that are specially configured for streaming audio and live broadcasts.
Video archives are becoming increasingly popular on the internet, with vlogs or video blogs and aggregator sites leading the way. You can embed video content from popular sites like YouTube, Vimeo, or Yahoo, or serve your own video files from our servers. We support Flash video distribution as well as QuickTime for our sites, and use a number of popular embedded video players for site design. If you are looking for a Microsoft Silverlight video solution, our designers and programmers are working to implement this exciting new web standard. Silverlight combines audio, video, vector graphics, and animation to offer a premier multimedia experience for live broadcasts and video archive sites. Contact a Touch and Click customer representative to discuss which video standard is best for your archive or broadcast, and we will provide all of the design, hosting, and programming facilities for your video CMS.
The best sites combine image galleries, podcasts, audio streaming, video, and Flash animation “all-in-one” to create a user experience that is dynamic and cutting edge. Touch and Click is one of the leading design firms in Australia focusing in advanced multimedia web authoring solutions. If you need a media archive that operates on multiple channels simultaneously, and integrates a diversity of web formats and standards seamlessly, contact us about creating a custom solution for your website. We will integrate any multimedia format into a CMS framework that is easy to navigate, expand over time, administer, and is SEO friendly for best results on the search pages.
