Creating Image Maps?

Hello.

What's the best and fastest way to create a image map? I'm thinking of creating an entire website as one big image map.

cheers.

 

Usually (once a year) I just using this: http://www.tomaweb.com/image-mapper.asp

Very old but working (I think only with gif and jpeg)

 

Thanks SubZtep,

I download a WYSIWYG editor which does it. Although creating a website using one big image map will create huge load times.

 

np.
Of course, you need to cut the picture and make some optimisation on it with Photoshop (or any other graphics software). I think image map is really oldschool.

 

do u use dreamweaver? easy there --- just insert the image and start drawing hotspots....

 

you can use photoshop to get the coordinates but that's probably not the easiest way.

 

Maybe you can consider to convert it to a flash based interactive image map -- which would load much faster than a jpg image map, and you can add lots of interactive functions. Check out iMapBuilder at http://www.imapbuilder.com, which can import any JPG/PNG images, then convert it to an interactive image map.

 

That interactive map (flash) is sweet! You've given me a a bucket load of ideas!

Cheers!

 

Have a look at my maps, they are cheaper too

Thanks my friend

 

dreamweaver can help you indeed.I will suggest it to you

 

I use Dreamweaver and just use hotspots. They have a polygon tool as well so you can make any shape. I use rectangles mostly.
