New components with extra functionality added.

Monday, July 27th, 2009

We have never expected that our 3 templates with a standard components set can generate so many messages, and that’s really good. We got tons of fresh ideas and some of them will be releazed soon.

So the 1st one which I especially like is a “bookmark panel component“.  This tool allows to bookmark your site to social networks like digg, technorati and so on. I think we will call it “socializer” or “make me social”.

The next idea is event planner flash component, it’s really easy to create it and I believe many of our users will find it useful.

Another cool facility for advertising is accordion image viewer component. It is supposed to be a handy tool for online presentations, sort of a substitution of the flash intros.

Yeah, speaking the devil… the intro! Another add on is interactive flash animated background(as you know you can use swf file as a background of the website). So this background will allow the customer to make a rotation of images and slogans on the back ground of the website. This will always help to promote your brand, or may be put some light on products and services you offer to your customers.

I guess it will be useful and fun. Hope you like these tools. Btw all our old media galleries components will be revised and redesigned as well. And of course all previous and next components are absolutely compatible with the xml site builder engine. Got questions? Drop me a line! Cheers!  :-)

XML flash site builder. Improved and Polished.

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Ok guys, finally I have a couple of minutes to write a little post about our 2nd website built on xml site builder engine(guess it’s high time to figure out some beautiful name for the project :) ). Just like the previous skin, this template can be viewed at www.flashmint item numbers 2567 and 2563. These 2 templates used the same set of flash components, the only difference is in the menu location. We decided it would be cool if visitors could choose if they prefer upper menu or bottom menu design. But thats the only difference, in the rest the templates are completely identical. Here is the screen shot just to get the idea of the design

This is the example of our second site based on XML flash site builder

This is the example of our second site based on XML flash site builder

As I have already mentioned the site is build on the same set of flash components as a pevious version, but there is a slight difference. Now image gallery, video gallery and image rotator component track if they are used as a stanalone application or as a part of the website. If they are loaded into the website the “fullscreen” and “autoplay” buttons are displayed not within the component itself, but within the footer of the template which seems to be more harmonic(though it seems only to our designer :D ). As you see the components became smarter.

I guess thats all news we have at the moment, if you have any questions you know what to do ;-)

KeenBusiness Project is almost finished.

Monday, July 13th, 2009

In this article I would like to tell you about our new CMS project named KeenBusiness. When we started the development our main goal was to create flash website with wide range of features including but not limited to multifunction product catalogs, rich formatted content pages, ecommerce functions, flash blogging features and much more. All this is supposed to be backed up by easy and intuitive CMS and strong Search Engine Optimization features. The project is oriented on small and medium business.

One of the main advantages of KeenBusiness engine is powerful customization tool. We supply graphics libraries of each element used in the site, so the customer or the developer can edit every banner, link, button, text block, background or menu item having at least basic knowledge of flash animation, no ActionScript knowledge is required.

Modular structure allows to create new components and integrate them easily into the project.

Deep linking gives the webmasters additional tools for SEO and website promotion

Flexible structure allows to create unlimited number of pages, image/audio/video galleris, text pages, ecommerce catalogs.

Built in flash blog module allows to create online communities, share your news and events.

Currently we define the following types of possible content:

1. Simple text page with integrated HTML formatted text

2. Newsletter page

3. Blog page

4. Contact form page

5. Gallery Page(images/videos/audio)

6. Slideshow/Presentation Page

7. Combinations of all pages listed above

Other useful features are dynamic vertical resizing(depending upon content block height), simplified ecommerce tools, advanced music player, image manipulation tools, multilingual support.

Below you can check the screen shots of beta version which is currently under construction.

XML Based flash site builder, or whatever you may call it.

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Ok, so finally we have almost finished testing of one of our best products :-) . This is what people usually call a site builder, it  allows the customer to create scalable flash sites using a set of flash components(or fash modules) providing different types of content. Basic version includes 8 core components:

- text page component(allows to create 1 block text page containing HTML formatted text and images)

dynamic text page flash componet

dynamic text page flash componet

- news page component(give the site owner an opportunity to run a newsletter, subscription feature is not available yet but we are planning to add it in the next versions in a couple of months maybe)

dynamic news flash component

- contact form component(your visitors can always contact you if you choose to :) )

-slide show component(this tool can be really useful if you want to make a presentation of some product or show your best photos for example)

XML slide show flash component

- staff page component(you can proudly present the staff of your company and organize it into departments)

03-staff_page

- audio gallery component(created mostly for musicians, allows to organize mp3 tracks into the albums and add description or history of every track. For example who inspired you to create this song :) )

mp3 gallery flash component

mp3 gallery flash component

- video gallery component(your own youtube at your site ;) , share your videos easily.)

08-video_gallery

- photo gallery component(of course it was created mostly for photographers, but anyone can publish his photos and organize them into categories, autoplay and autoresize mods available)

photogalley flash page

photogalley flash page

And that’s not all, we are also planning to launch shopping cart component and calendar/planner component so far. As these things are less vital for the majority of web masters they will be supplied separately from the package.

Btw, very important thing is that any component can be used as a part of the website and as a standalone version. Which means that if you have a website that lacks photo gallery only, you can buy one required component, but not a bunch of stuff you don’t need.
