Requires a conscious thought to visit the website.

The current slide is always visible as a small window and is available to open and view in detail with a single click. Thus a glance at the app, or a slide transition, may induce the user to open it.

Typically low frequency of visiting by the same visitor. There usually are no external prompts to invite the user to visit the website again, even if there is plenty of content on it. Momentary breaks from work to visit a website are impossible, as navigating a website requires time.

Typically high frequency of viewing. Since slides are usually always visible, they stimulate the user to open and view them. The software is interactive and engaging but never disturbing.

Finding random information of interest on a website requires time and effort to navigate and search for it.

It is easy to click and open the current slide and view its content, as well as to load the of the next one, or navigate to the slide webpage.

Image presentation on websites can be from poor to good:

• poor – images have fixed size in the webpages;
• mediocre – images are opened in a larger frame;
• good - excellent zooming, but limited within the browser window losing at least 5% from the screen. On multi-screen systems, the browser can be manually sized-up to cover more than one monitor, but then requires manual sizing-down, both of which are distracting, unpleasant, and time-consuming.

Provides excellent image viewing experience on all screens:

• utilizes 100% of the screen area on single and multi-screen systems giving the largest possible viewing space;
• unrestricted software zoom to show the smallest details;
• fast single click open/close slide commands;
• convenient keyboard and menu commands;
• fit-to-image and fit-to-screen commands;
• easy mouse and keyboard control of the opened slides.

Impractical to display large volumes of image information. For example, to publish an archive of 1,000 images of historic architectural drawings on a website would require a massive amount of work for very few views.

Very efficient to display large amounts of visual information. For example, to beneficially publish 1,000,000 images is as easy as uploading them. Properties can be added to and removed from slides at any time from the easy to use web-interface.

To find something new on a website, provided that there is, the visitor must explore the site systematically. Most people will not bother. Alternatively, the website homepage must be updated constantly.

The Information Presenter provides slides at a rate selected by the user from the edition's slide library. The application stimulates providing and viewing of varied information.

Information, if provided, can be studied systematically. However, learning requires conscious effort and persistence.

Knowledge is gained continuously, one item at a time, consciously and unconsciously, interactively and engagingly. The user can get further information from the associated with the slide properties and webpage when available.

Very demanding – to create and maintain an engaging website with much visual and other information is difficult. For example, adding images to a website requires the designing of a suitable hierarchy, possibly adding a webpage for each image, adding text and other content about the image on each webpage, adding navigation, links, and so on. Changes are complex and typically break external, and often also internal, links. Construction and maintenance are both complex and time-consuming.

Extremely easy – upload the images, videos, and documents into the slide library via the administrative web-interface. Creating beautiful document slides is a breeze using the easy to use builder. Creating and assigning properties and additional information to slides is also extremely easy using the administrative web-interface. Volunteers and students can also help to develop slides, which you can make public after you review and approve. Construction and maintenance are both quick and simple.

To create or update a website requires professional web design skills and possibly a whole IT team.

To create beautiful slides or update them does not require any web-design or IT skills.

Very expensive ~ 40-150 USD per hour.

Practically free.
