Will my website take longer to load for visitors if I have a Sitestar?
No. Your Sitestar will run at low bandwidth to avoid delaying the loading of your webpage.

Will all visitors be able to see my Sitestar?
Thanks to recent trends in online video formats, Sitestar is viewable by over 98% of internet users.

What is Flash and why does Sitestar use it?
Adobe Flash has the technology to allow you to view digital video from a webpage. It is the most pervasive video platform in existence as it is viewable by over 98% of internet users (Millward Brown survey, conducted December 2006). Its technology is crucial to Sitestar, not only for its high quality, low bandwidth features; but also because of its unique integration capabilities. This is what allows Sitestar to become part of the fabric of your website.

I’ve heard that I should stay clear of using Flash on my website, is this true?
Not at all. Websites overloaded with Flash can suffer from long loading times, and can negatively effect search optimisation, making a site hard to find on search engines like Google.

This isn’t the case with Sitestar, as it is just a Flash component of your site it doesn’t replace your HTML text (used by search engines to find your site) and doesn’t slow down the loading of your web page.

If I want to use a professional presenter from your database for my Sitestar, how do I make my choice?
We will discuss your Sitestar requirements and return to you with recommendations for who we think would best suit your site.

What if I just want one Sitestar on my site? The lowest package is four!
The lowest package allows for up to four Sitestars. It is the setup time that is significant, rather than filming time – so the difference between filming one and filming four is minimal, it’s only at 4+ that an extra charge is incurred.

So if you really only want one Sitestar for your website, why not film some variations so that it can be altered throughout the year? This would keep your website fresh and new. You may as well get the most for your money!

What does a four page Sitestar get me?
The four-page Sitestar package allows for anywhere between 1-4 Sitestars (up to around 30 seconds each maximum), using your own script and to be integrated with an existing part of your site. It also requires that you supply your own Sitestar (Whether that is you or a representative that you have arranged). Extra pages and additional extras are charged at your seller’s rate

What does your scripting service include?
If putting pen to paper isn’t your strong point – don’t worry! We can formulate your Sitestar’s message for you, based on information you give us about your business.

What do you mean by still and animated backgrounds?
We can design attractive backgrounds for your Sitestar that may not exist on your existing site. These can be still pictures, or moving images animated using Flash.

What about more specific needs, like celebrities, animals, lookalikes, characters, or particularly creative camerawork?
The possibilities are endless and we will always be able to provide what you are looking for. So whether you’re looking for Elton John or Lassie get in touch to discuss your specific needs and we will provide you with a quote.

I’ve seen similar things before, how is Sitestar unique?
Sitestar is more than just a novelty; it’s a powerful web-marketing tool! It compliments the design of your site and its content, without replacing important features used by search engines or slowing down the loading time of your site. Furthermore, our packages have been created to offer superior value for money as well as an efficient and quality service.

What will my visit to your studio include?
You will be coached through your script and directed to deliver your message to camera in the best effective way for your website. Nervous? Don’t be! We’ll run through it as many times as necessary to ensure you walk away with the Sitestar you had in mind.
