Add Interactivity To Your Website Without Slow Loading Multimedia

Impress your website visitors with interactive image maps using standards based HTML and CSS. MapDesign provides an amazingly fast, easy way to create image maps for your website that respond to user actions such as moving your mouse over certain sections of an image.

Image maps are clickable images on a website that behave differently depending on where a user clicks on the image. The biggest problem when designing image maps is defining how your website should react when a user clicks a certain section of an image.

MapDesign offers a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) user interface, allowing you to visually create simple or complex image maps for your website. In addition, MapDesign lets you add mouse-over and mouse-down effects using standards based CSS so you can easily make your website stand out among your visitors.

Since MapDesign uses only HTML and CSS, there is no need for your users to install third party plug-ins or add-ons. Your website will still be fast, responsive and compatible with all major web browsers.

Make your websites come alive with MapDesign.

Testimonials:

Simple, quick and does wat its says without getting in the way :) now i dont have to launch imageready or dreamweaver everytime i want to create a quick imagemap... worth it just for that! Was worried about it working with rapidweaver or bbedit but seems you can very easily just open the generated html files and edit them manually.

This app works very well to designate multiple or single hot spots to an image. I saw it first on sale the other day so I experimented using it versus Image Ready to see if it was worthy of my purchase, and it was. Much quicker and straighforward, and that is worth it to me. Stable too.

I have had GREAT success with MapDesign. Not only have I used it to spice up a district website used to teach teachers how to use technology in the classroom, but I've also used it to enhance a web portal used only by new incoming Principals. Everyone loves the wonderful graphic interactive additions! Thank you RAGE!
