HomeTeamsONLINE® releases XoomFX to replace Adobe Flash® Based Animated Banners on their Websites

HomeTeamsONLINE® is pleased to announce the development and release of their new proprietary engine, XoomFX.  XoomFX offers an efficient alternative to the Adobe Flash® based animated banners.  XoomFX is compatible with all browsers and provides faster load times. 

In 2004, HomeTeamsONLINE® developed dynamic banners using Adobe Flash® software that loaded colors and text selected by users, allowing users to make custom banners with sophisticated animation effects.  Today, it's no secret that even Adobe is moving away from using Flash®.

 

In today's mobile market where visitors have so many browser options available to them, browser compatibility is key. A consistent transition between browsers lets website administrators easily present their brand to visitors using a variety of devices and platforms. Increased brand visibility can lead to better sponsorship and advertising opportunities.

 

HomeTeamsONLINE® XoomFX allows their users to combine Banner and Logo customizations with animations, backgrounds, and even logo effects – all compatible with today's mobile devices.  HomeTeamsONLINE® recently applied the XoomFX capabilities with their X-Grid homepage layout feature, which allows the user to add creative animations to the modules that are dragged and dropped into their home page. Users can animate a single module or apply different animations to several modules to create a fully custom look to their home page. Adding these effects to X-Grid pages allows users complete control over the placement of their favorite page elements, like slide shows and news stories, and will go far beyond the "one size fits all" websites that is so common these days.

 

HomeTeamsONLINE® is in the process of converting all features and pages to mobile responsive technology over the coming months, which will provide full compatibility with mobile devices.  Many features will also be redesigned and improved during this process so that advanced features become even more user friendly.

CEO David Schmitz says, "We are very excited to provide this website technology to our users. XoomFX and X-Grid are part of our basic product, there is no extra cost for these features. As we complete the last stages of our conversion to a mobile friendly, device independent platform, we will also be offering new streamlined versions of our websites so users can enjoy these great features for their own personal pages or business pages. Our core product is designed to provide sports organizations with websites that meet their unique requirements, and many of these same customers will enjoy having access to great features like XoomFX and X-Grid for their personal use."
