About Frontpage Slideshow

Image taken from the movie "Shoot 'em up"

"Frontpage SlideShow" is the most eye-catching way to display your featured articles, stories or even products in your php based website or CMS, like Time.com, Joost.com or Yahoo! Movies do. "Frontpage SlideShow" creates an uber-cool slideshow with text snippets laying on top of images. These "slides" are being rotated one after the other with a nice fade effect. The slideshow features navigation and play/pause buttons, so the visitor has complete control over the slideshow's "playback"! And best of all, Frontpage Slideshow can be skinned!

JoomlaWorks has developed this modification of Frontpage Slideshow to work on every website that supports PHP as a minimum requirement. We call this modification the "Static PHP" version of Frontpage Slideshow. It's ideal for use on non-Joomla!/Mambo websites, like for example your corporate PHP based website or your Wordpress blog or Drupal website! You can obviously use this version on any CMS that is based on PHP!

About Frontpage Slideshow

Image taken from the movie "Invaders"

Unlike Flash based slideshows, Frontpage Slideshow uses unobtrusive javascript and some CSS wizardry only. The content of the slides is laid out as html code, which means it can be "read" by search engines. The proper usage (and order) of h3, h2, p (and more) tags will make sure Google (or any other search engine) regularly "scans" your latest/featured items.
