We just launched a new look on the homepage by replacing our large image/flash area with a new video flash piece. I’m really pleased with the way it turned out. The concept and design was done in house and then our friends at New City helped us with some tweaks and built it for us. [...]

The website prominently features many “video slideshows” linked from the homepage. The videos are really slideshows with pictures, a voice-over and music. They didn’t [...]

We have created a way to insert YouTube videos into our site using the Ingeniux CMS. Here’s a preview of a video running in our new college template: This was quite a nut to crack, but after numerous hours and a large order from Starbucks, we completed the process.
