Virtual tours are a popular way to showcase attractions and facilities to users who are debating their visit.
Coalmarch previously specialized in creating high resolution virtual tours using premium photography and Adobe Flash to create interactive and panoramic views of client spaces.
Throughout the years our focus has moved more towards SEO friendly technologies and platforms. Although Flash or .SWF objects allow for a great deal of interactivity and effects, we now prefer to work with programming languages that are search engine friendly - like jQuery or Javascript.
There are many different ways to achieve virtual tour effects that do not involve Adobe Flash. Although Coalmarch does not currently offer services in creating stand-alone virtual tours, we do help our clients determine the best way to showcase their photos through use of slideshows, background images, and jQuery related panoramic tools capable of creating virtual tour like effects on a web page.
