The Value of Incorporating 3D in Web Pages

Historic Development in Web pages

In practical terms the basic end customer demands and needs expressed to Web companies have evolved very little over time since they are more related to the demand of the business and the market than the web itself.

Early websites were more like online brochures, before companies began to focus more on the need for those pages to actually be able to generate enquiries and sales. The need to measure, monitor and manage these sales through more detailed stats packages then went hand in hand with the need to make web pages rank as highly as possible search engines. In the meantime customers were focusing on the need to update the design elements of their pages, and welcomed the increased functionality and animation that e.g. Flash movies offered them. Web companies also tried to deal with the challenges and opportunities posed by the dominance, growth, and increasing sophistication and diversity of Google.

Today, many businesses have essentially moved onto the Web and therefore the pressure on Web companies to make the right decisions, and offer the right range and quality of services has never been greater. One thing however has remained vitally important – getting the customer’s message across effectively.

Getting the Message Across

Challenges to getting a marketing message across include among other things:

Ongoing competitor and market activity
Ongoing search engine evolution
Multiple Platforms and fragmented markets
The limitations imposed by budgets, time, resources
Getting and holding the attention and interest of website visitors.

Adding Value with 3D and Interactivity – 
                                                 -The Ultimate Design

Google’s focus on the need to deliver its customers to web pages and broadening categories of ‘content’ which provide a good and value adding experience is an indicator and reflection of the needs of all web users, whether businesses or individuals.

For today’s web companies, offering customers the ability to use and incorporate the latest 3D and interactive technology in their web presence provides a virtuous, value adding, competitive advantage for both Web companies and their customers.
