I have a client that needs his website redesigned. He wants to try to clone the layout of this website.

WEYW 19, Home Page

The key points are:

- large video feed on top of home page
- scrolling marquee box were he will link to other videos

What would you guys do? Are there any plugins to help me with the scrolling marquee boxes? I have no idea how to insert a marquee using wordpress.

Also are there any plugins that you could think of for video embed like that?

Just looking for ideas from some designers. What would you do?

Thanks,

M.

    That's an iframe window with all the links inside of it, and a big no-no as far as SEO is concerned. You create a separate HTML document and then call that document in useing the iframe function in HTML.

    Iframes may or may not be spidered and indexed by search crawlers, and thus has a negative effect on your SEO results.

    Use a Wordpress theme with one of the gazillian video plugins out there. Go here and start messing with some of the video addons. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...q=video+&sort= You can add them automatically from the backend of wordpress in the plugins section, as well. Tons of videos on this stuff on youtube. Enjoy.

      Thanks for your input. This client specifically wants a scrolling box like that though. How do I set that up? I will play with some video plugins in the mean time.

        I have found the scrolling marquee plugin a little buggy, sometimes it works and sometimes it does weird things even with themes that usually have no problems with plugins. You might be safer finding a JavaScript for a scrolling marquee and going to the WP codex for info on how to add it.

    Well the video is I beleive just a div with a background image or perhaps some other arrangement of nested divs and images. As for the scroloing box on the page you should be able to put that in any page or post using the HTML mode in Wordpress. Just Google "html overflow scroll"
