Sussex Cricket go dynamic with their flash header. After holding the reins and working with quite a static site with our focus on generating quality content for some many years, it was exciting to get the approval on introducing an animated Flash component to their website. This completely bespoke production allowed us to flex our wings a little, while still focusing our attention of the key deliverables which were to engage the end user and draw them into current core business functions going on throughout the season.

Using the dynamic production environment of our Content Management System we were able to quickly pull together a module to manage the seperate components required to create the dynamic flash header consisting of; a title, supporting thumbail image, a summary and link to an internal page.

The rest of the dynamics of this front end feature relies soley on the dynamic capabilities of flash which we love and hope to capture the interest of the end user through subtle animation and subtle content sliding and fading techniques. We've got big plans to introduce more and more of these user friendly features as we continue to persue website excellence working closely with the club.

The RSS feed news ticker was a last minute addition, which has worked really well especially when there are live games going on as the ECB news feed keeps avid fans up to the minute scores.
