How to add multimedia content to a real estate web site

Macromedia Flash can be a great way to add some life to your otherwise static page. In the past, you would have to learn to code Flash by yourself, and tackle a fairly steep learning curve. This is no longer the case, thankfully - as there are many sites out there that can crank out a Flash movie or animation for you almost instantly.

Slide is one of the easiest to use applications and it allows you to quickly create an embeddable Flash graphic very quickly. Uploading and reordering images is very straightforward and then you simply pick one of a number of themes, apply it to you picture and instantly have your graphic. The HTML code is provided for you automatically so you can include it into your web site or blog.

Using Slide you could quickly throw together a multimedia presentation of your listed properties or even a tour of a particular home.

One other popular application is One True Media, which creates slick presentations, complete with music and professional quality transitions. In compare to Slide, it has a fairly steep learning curve, but the outcome is absolutely remarkable.

Here is a sample that I’ve put together by using Slide.
