Small Business Website Owners Now Show Their Wares in Style

S

“When I think of Grandy Reynolds, I see a very tall, grey haired man with a gentle smile”. Thus begins a story rendered by Katy Little on her website. The only difference is that Little’s story book actually looks like a book and has pages in it that can be turned back and forth by a visitor to her website.

Little’s website, KatysTales.com, uses a product called SiteJazzer. SiteJazzer enables businesses and agencies to create and show off their web content in style, and without programming. With SiteJazzer, one can display customer testimonials and quotes as animated cards, create horizontal and vertical banners, panning cards, among other things.

“Most businesses that otherwise have a modest online presence want to have great looking interactive elements on their websites. And it is not easy for them to do so without hiring web development agencies.” said Vikas Joshi, chairman and managing director of the Harbinger Group, the maker of SiteJazzer. According to him, people like Katy Little can add attractive looking web elements to “jazz up their website”.

Another one of such success stories is a website that shows a catalog of its products as panning cards. The website, eValuShop.com, shows a diverse set of products such as sports memorabilia, glassware, watches, CDs and DVDs as animated panning cards for users to choose from.

The templates that are available in the software work great to assimilate and simplify disparate items, according to Joshi. “We have seen business owners wanting to show a great diversity or assortment of wares on their online storefront in a manner that is attractive and easy-to-use for their customers. Service providers are displaying their portfolio of services as a stack of cards, bloggers are highlighting their most cherished blog posts as page-peels, and e-retail shops are showing their time-bound offers as a countdown element. We even have an association of Baptist churches who show their sermon videos and images as a rotating 3D cube.” said Joshi.

SiteJazzer launched a little over three months ago, and it enables creation of web elements such as countdown timers, 3D flip book and panning cards in HTML5 and in Flash. It supports creation of many relatively complex interactions required for modern websites, and the company claims that users will benefit from a tool that creates these web elements very easily.
