Flash Animation with St Joseph’s College

Though we are not great fans of flash animations — they’re distracting and their novelty effects wear out after a few visits — we decided to spice up St Joseph’s College website. The college is one of the oldest educational institutions in Botswana (it recently celebrated it’s 80th Anniversary) and we wanted the website to stand out. We think the blackboard-themed animation on the home page, interspersed with photographs taken around the school works well for this type of site. You can view the effect by clicking here. We invite you to tell us what you think of the design and animation. Do you think animations are essential to good website design?

The College’s IT department is fully trained on how to upload content and manage the website using our Open Source easy-to-use content management platform. We look forward to seeing this site grow.

It seems you use the same template for majority of your clients websites, no creativity been displayed on your behalf, and the reason you dont like flash is because you probably fail to understand it’s significancy. It’s progressive thinking.
   Truthfully speaking, I think its a rip off service you providing. You keeping keeping Africa in a box.

   Both entries had some funny slogans, but both were lacking a bit in the“ design” portion of the t- shirt design contest. So I slaved over a hot PC the past few days and came up with some new designs of my own. The two guys who worked hard to get me…
