Topic: best way to demo my site?

[kevgais]

Hi guys,

I'm coming to the end of my website development. My site is more of an application in that users arrive at it from a main site (my application is a booking engine for restaurants).

The whole process involves many different screens, SMS messaging, Automated emails & pdf on the fly generation. I no need to start selling this product now and as such need to figure out the best way to do a snappy presentation show casing it to it's full.

I'm thinking of some sort of flash movie (but how do i include the sms & emails etc.

Anyone have any ideas on the best approach for this?

cheers

Maybe a flash movie rendered from some screen recordings of you browsing the sites. Some kind of showreel of the site functionality.

Another idea may be to use powerpoint slides, then covert to avi or mpg, and then place on youtube.com. Then email potential customer and point them to them you tube video.

Powerpoint slides are cool for quick presentations, but that's all of it. Instead, with Flash one can do great things. Also i think it's more serious (business talking) to host the demo in-site then just give the customers a link pointing to youtube. My opinion though.
