No, we don't do video (but we can recommend some companies that do!).
And no, we don't have video on our site - yet. But it's in our budget for 2009.
We believe video can be a cost-effective investment. Call us to learn more!
SUDOKU CHALLENGE:
We've already talked about the fact that people don't want to read on the web. But they are absolutely ready for online video - just think YouTube. Offering a rich experience on your website that includes video can positively differentiate you from your competition. Video can build trust and make a connection between you and your audience much faster than the written word. Video can make your website sizzle - but be sure you've implemented it well!
DO:
1. Keep your video short! It should be no more than 3 minutes, and ideally between 30 to 60 seconds.
If necessary, have multiple videos.
2. Use Flash as your video format. A few short years ago, QuickTime was the preferred video format. QuickTime, Windows Media, and Real Player all open the video in their own proprietary players. If your visitor doesn't have that player, they probably won't take the time to install it and therefore they won't see your video. Today, more than 99% of web visitors have Flash installed in their browser. Flash video is supported by all the major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari etc.) and operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Your visitors will view the video as part of your website, not in a separate window.
