    Is it easy to do the rollover effect like this website www dot dcstrategy dot com dot au
    where you see the small boxes below the large slideshow?
    When you put your cursor over it the image rolls up and provides a 'read more' option.

    OR

    even the one at www dot arrowenergy dot com dot au where the small images below
    the main images has a pretty cool rollover effect.

    Is that hard to program or is there software that can do this?

    Or is it possible to have someone program it and provide the embed code to upload to my site?

    That effect was most likely created with a flash software. Pretty simple to do. Creates a great effect.

    Thanks for the response. When you say simple to do and can be done with software, are you able to elaborate.

    I use a wysiwyg style website builder and I'd like to know if it's easy enough to have someone build something
    like that and provide the code that I can cut and paste into the page.

    Also is it possible to do using software that doesn't use flash? I want the search engines to be able to read
    it.
    Thanks.

    schwarzes: I'm sure I could create rollover images using CSS but I truly don't know how. I was
    hoping they'd be a simple software I could plug in and upload HTML but perhaps that isn't the case.

    Have said that, how easy is it to get someone to code that in and then provide the code to load into my HTML editor?

    things like that are cool but don't waste forever trying to do it, what is important is that your users are happy

    Hi Winx

    Thanks for your comment. Yes I realise these things aren't the most important aspect
    of a site but when a friend who you are trying to help out is making that his focus
    it's hard to deny them as it makes them happy. If they're not happy then no-one
    is...I guess. Some people are just hard to please !!!

    Personally I prefer your idea and make sure the site works well and is attractive to the
    search engines. I couldn't care less about the visual side.
