Adding Multimedia To Your Web Site

Filed under: Ecommerce Web Site Design    

Your web site can now be the equivalent of any broadcast medium, a radio station or TV station, by adding streaming audio or video to your web page.

Strategically placed audio or video in your web site can enhance your marketing message by making your site more interactive with your visitors and getting your message across more easily than just pages of text.

This used to be an expensive and time-consuming process, often requiring a special “streaming server” or Content Delivery Network (CDN) to provide the audio or video stream.

The recent shift to Flash audio and video has enabled audio and video to be streamed (actually a progressive download) from your own web host server.

I’ve created two sites that go through the background and step-by-step procedures for adding audio and video to your web site including the equipment and software required. They also include video tutorials of free audio and video editing software.

Using free software like Audacity to edit audio and Windows Movie Maker to edit video means you can have streaming audio and video on you web site with very little cost.
