Adding multimedia to your web site

Organisations are discovering that websites are an ideal platform for delivering multimedia content such as images, audio and video. When done properly, multimedia can be presented seamlessly with other content and can be searched for and found in the usual ways.

The are a number of reasons behind this trend

1. Increasing availability of high bandwidth connectivity (more that 30% of Australian households now have broadband - Australian bureau of Statistics)
2. Website technology has progressed to the stage where it can now easily support multimedia delivery
3. Producing multimedia is becoming increasingly easy and affordable even for small organisations

AIMS provides an excellent multimedia management module that provides the ability to upload, manage and attach images, video, audio podcasts etc. It incorporates multimedia into standard page templates and provides an optional multimedia gallery. Supported media include audio, images, video, flash and other file types.

The multimedia module is available as an optional module on all AIMS 4 (including AIMS-Lite) sites.

Social Change is also able to provide advice and services to help in the preparation of multimedia into web ready formats.
