Random Backgrounds for home pages
The home page of each website loads with a random background image. The image is loaded randomly from a Picture Library, so if the background needs to change it's easy to add and remove new background images, very user friendly.
Use of Lists
Practically everything in the website runs off Lists. The Home Page Flash Movies, Links, Header Links, Footer Links and much more.
Lists are awesome because you get the nice List Management UI to add, edit List Items in a list, a lot easier than developing something similar from scratch.
As well as the usual functionality you get from a MOSS WCM Website.
These websites were also completed in record time, a lot less than any MOSS 2007 project I have been involved in so far. An excellent effort by the people at Vivid Group, and also the professional staff at WesTrac.
If you happen to be in Western Australia, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory or China, then browse the Product catalog in the websites and contact WesTrac for some quality equipment !
