Next time you're surfing the Internet on your lunch break, check out the Web site for Acro Media Inc. This award-winning multimedia company is serving up a delectable array of images and design techniques that are bound to tantalize your taste buds.
"Hungry for fresh award winning design?" the site asks while the pages load. Then, without waiting for an answer, Acro Media spreads out a virtual picnic to satisfy your appetite. And the images don't just appear on the screen—they slide into place, giving you the feeling that you're on the cutting edge of something, like maybe a chopping board.
Click on the block of cheese and you'll get testimonials from the company's many satisfied customers; select a slice of bread and you're transported to an impressive digital portfolio of past work; pick up a can of "AcroCola" and you're reading about the latest news from the company, including its lengthy list of accolades. (Notice, too, that when you pick up the bread and cheese, they leave crumbs, and when you pick up the cola, it leaves a wet ring—small touches that show how much effort went into this site.)
This site says that Acro Media has an excellent grasp on design and innovation. It says that this company is fresh, like its produce, and is not afraid to do things differently. It's functional. It's humorous. It's a great marketing tool.
The site is best viewed when you select the high-speed setting. However, because of all the tasty features, the pages are slower to load. What's more, you'll notice that when you enter the site on the high-speed setting, your navigation bar disappears and the pages expand to fit your whole computer screen, leaving you feeling a bit like an ant trapped in a picnic basket. They're small details, but they can be annoying.
Nonetheless, if you have multimedia needs or are looking for ideas, visit Acro Media's site and it's sure to inspire your confidence in this company. It's what all good business Web sites should aspire to.
