Macromedia names Banner Engineering’s iSelect
“Site of the Day”

Macromedia, Inc. announced today that Banner Engineering’s iSelect product selection tool was named “Site of the Day”.

iSelect was designed and built by Artropolis using Flash (by Macromedia) and PHP with a MySQL Database. It allows users to quickly narrow their selection of Banner Engineering products from thousands to a handful that can then be compared side-to-side. What was once a cumbersome process of browsing through printed catalogs has become a quick and easy way to find what you want based on your criteria. To see the tool in action, simply visit iSelect.

Being selected to be Macromedia’s Site of the Day is a real honor. With literally thousands of Flash websites out there, there are only a few that can hold the spotlight. Macromedia recognizes websites based on their strong visual designs, superior functionalities, and innovative uses of Macromedia products.

“We want to give bring attention to the creative and engineering talent behind the scenes.”
- J.B. Little, Customer Success Program, Macromedia, Inc.

“Kudos to Artropolis!”
- Sharon Stokoe, Marketing Manager, Banner Engineering
