Better Than The Rest - Superior Web Site Software


Checkmark Logo

May we brag a little? When we set out to create our website products, we realized one thing. We were on a mission. We wanted to change the Web. Early on, we realized the World Wide Web was not fulfilling its promise of being a "universal" and free medium to all users. In fact, the Web was becoming more and more a place where search engines and advertisers make millions of dollars selling content created by you, the User. Every time we upload a photo, write a comment into a Web Log, or transfer video to other websites online, we are giving away our prized (and copyrighted) content to companies who turn around and sell the rights to see your content by placing advertsing "words" and banners on those web pages. We decided there was one way to fight back. Give the average Web User the ability to manage their own photos, video, and music online on their own web site and server, free of advertising. By doing so, users would be able to disassociate their media from the advertiser web and directly gain back valued search enegine benefits directly. In so doing, your average User would now be able to make money over time from their media, and take back permanent long term, control of that media using their web sites. That is what we decided to do...build software that does just that. And that is what, we believe, our software will help you to achieve. What more can we say?

We, lots more. That is our mission and what we strive to do everyday. But it goes deeper than that. We started to look at what our competitors were doing in this space. There was no comparison. Our website tools were NOT like so many of our competitor's products and services. Unlike many of the more popular desktop photo software tools and photo service sites, ours does not require desktop software, does not use a database, does not use third party file hosting, does not run advertisements, does not use "Web 2.0" community sharing sites or logins, does not use Flash plugins, and does not create FTP'ed HTML albums created by your PC. Our products are simply web scripts and pages you upload to your server, and which allow you to manage your media online using your existing website and browser. Our software is better. We hope you will agree.

But let's look at the facts. Many of these "service and software" sites host your media files on THEIR domains, not yours. Not good! That affects privacy, search engine traffic and a host of other issues when when you choose to host media you display to others online. What these file hosting companies and "community" Web 2.0 sites do not tell you is that they benefit from hosting your files on their domains. They get "hits" or search engine traffic everytime someone looks at your photos on their domains and url's. They can then turn around and sell that traffic to advertisers, and make money off of your media. That's bad, right? With our scripts, you take full online ownership of your media by hosting it yourself and managing it online with our web page scripts on YOUR SERVER AND SITE, not theirs. You can fully customize the web pages and product as well, and allow your website to showcase your media your way, driving search traffic, managing your media through your site, securing your photos and media from others online, and driving viewers to your url, not someone else's domain.

Unlike the rest, our product is NOT desktop software that simply creates HTML albums of photos and files you upload to a server. ImageIsland is a real Photo Management Application website product you run inside your server and browser, not your PC! Unlike the others, ImageIsland is NOT desktop software, does NOT require a plugin, does NOT create HTML picture galleries you must upload, does NOT have complicated database installations, and does NOT help you store your photos on other people's domains and websites. Think about those features before you buy.

The BEST way is to manage all your media yourself on YOUR server and site! The benefits to your website and business are HUGE! So, get ImageIsland and start uploading and viewing all your media and photos the cool new way using a true web-based media management tool inside YOUR website! When you manage your media and photos from your site with ImageIsland, or any of our other products, you control the login, access, and distribution of your media and photo albums online! What could be better for control of your media! Below are a few of the other advantages to using software by GiantIsland:

  • We sell Scripts - Not Subscriptions. Software - not Services. No Desktop Software Required. No Database Required. No Plugins Required. No Third Party File Hosting Needed. No Login, Links, or Locked in Licensed Subscriptions. Finally, website software thats simple!
  • ImageIsland Professional is a true Website Server Product! It runs on your server, not your computer, which means all your viewers can instantly see all your picture galleries online, and you manage and store all your photos there as well.
  • ImageIsland is not desktop software. Unlike the others, it does NOT create HTML pages you transfer to a server. It's a true photo web scripting application, and runs on your web server, Not your PC.
  • ImageIsland manages photos over the Web! Your photos are always on the World Wide Web, not hidden away inside your home PC or stuck on someone elses domain and file host. The NEW way is using your website!
  • ImageIsland is NOT a plugin, like Flash, and does NOT require plugins to view your photos, like so many others. All your need is a web browser to manage your photos.
  • ImageIsland runs in your web domain, not some other company's url! That means, your web site photo pages are viewable using YOUR domain, increasing ROI on your website, search engine traffic, and customer interactions online.
  • ImageIsland does NOT require a "subscription" to another web site or "service", like so many of the new Web 2.0 community site's do. That means your photos are kept PRIVATE, protecting your media file's copyright and securing your photos from the wrong audience online.
  • ImageIsland has user logins, so other people on the Web can use your site as their own Photo Portal or gallery. This is great for business sites. It lets your customers come to you with their media, not some third party product site.
  • NO MORE DATABASE INSTALLATIONS!!! Our products are database-free and sql-free! Tired of convoluted, complicated SQL database installations, scripts that fail, permission issues and tricky stored procedures that require a seasoned, database administrator to fix? We got tired of it too, and decided that "consumeable" web data doesnt have to be complicated or separated from the code layer. We bake ours right into the web files and folders, using a simple, module-based XML database. No installation necessary! Runs faster than most SQL database as well, in many cases, based on our "nanosecond benchmark" test results! So, NO DATABASE TO INSTALL EVER!!!!
  • Did we mention our website software is SIMPLE to use? We believe the world needs "simpler" software, so we built it that way. The new Web is about users, and their media. That means simpler interfaces, data ownbership using personal servers and sites, and web scripts designed for consumers and businesses that install themselves, fix themselves and which are easy to use. That's really what makes our software superior to many solutions out there. We hope you will try our products and feel the same!
