What is a Website Introduction?

This is an animated way of briefly showcasing your company or just giving your audience a message to relate to your company. Website Introductions usually last from 5 seconds to 1 minute. Anything more than that will make the download time required to start playing the Website Introduction too long for the visitor to wait. Website Introductions are usually the first thing a visitor will see upon visiting your website.

How do I know whether a Website Introduction is suitable for my company's website?

There is not really any decisive factor which will indicate whether a Website Introduction is suitable for your company's website. In fact, Website Introductions are not the trend any more due to the following two reasons:

• The need to have return website visitors is imperative
  Having return visitors implies owning a Dynamic Website. A Website Introduction in this case will only delay your frequent visitors from getting to the information they want. Yes, it can be an enticing piece of work, but the extra click needed by the visitor who saw the Website Introduction before (one, two or even three times) will make it an unnecessary step.
• You can achieve the same or very similar result by using an Animated Topic
  This will save you money as animated topics cost less and at the same time save your visitors time as they won't have that extra click.
