Guest intergemsuk Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi iv been playing round with cubecart for the last few months and hav a good feel for it. I have configured how i want it to work and now need to sort out the design. I want to create a homepage which is visually stunning and uses image hotspots to link to the stores categories. what i want to know is if image hotspots are search engine freindly as i have an SEO mod installed and can one image have multiple hotspots? Also has anyone got any examples of stores which uses splash pages with image hotspots? cheers, ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Best one to answer this would be the creator of SEO in .org I have seen a few sites using this method and looks nice but not very sure how SE friendly it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaskudoo Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 well, images can have alternate text on it, so that would be one way for SEO. the only bad thing about images is, that you have a very static layout then, because an image has a fixed dimension. (i am all about liquid layouts and accessibility - but then again, my site lacks images [working on it]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roban Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 You can map an image and each 'hot spot' on the image that links to a page can also have an 'alt' text which IS search engine friendly. I use Mapedit for this. It is not a free program but well worth the $$ if you want to have a mapped image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
