Flash page content

Flash page content contains animated images/graphics. The user must have installed a Flash player for his browser in order to be able to view the Flash files. Flash files are used, for example, for banner advertising or to realise complex content in an animated format.
Eye Catcher elements are Flash templates for smaller areas that can be integrated into the content of the page and that attract the visitor's eye to a particular point.
The Intro elements are Flash templates that are larger than the Eye Catchers. They dominate the page. Templates that can be inserted as an introduction to your home page can also be found here. See also Intro.

Gadgets

Gadgets are various functions that can be integrated into your Web pages. These allow you to provide your Web site's visitors with additional information, services or entertainment. Typical gadgets include, for example, railway timetables, traffic information or Google Maps.

RSS page content

RSS page content (RSS feeds) are lists of short messages that can be integrated into your Web site. They are comparable to a news ticker. In an RSS feed, the news is summarized briefly in headlines. A link allows the visitor to jump to the entire message. RSS feeds are available from many different providers on many different topics.
The user can load new Feeds using the update button on the web site.
