Video support at CFTA with grace and class

With web videos becoming as accessible and acceptable as audio streamed on web pages is, more and more website and blog pages are becoming increasingly cluttered with embedded large video boxes that stretch text beyond the levels of good page layout.

CFTA's new video support for listed artists remains true to CFTA's established reputation of grace and elegance when it comes to page layout and web design. Visitors at the CFTA site viewing an Artist's CD listing with video, will only see an additional small video play button called "Quick Video" below the traditional "Quick Listen" play button just below the CD cover picture.

Clicking the "Quick Video" button will place the entire web page on a shaded background and open a bright video box in the center of the screen, where the video plays, drawing the audience's complete attention to the video. With closing the video box, CFTA's web page instantly comes back from the shaded background to its colorful foreground where the visitor can continue browsing and viewing other artists.


Just another innovative feature for CFTA visitors to enjoy when browsing Indie artists at CFTA and focus on what matters most... the artist's music.

Snap Shots, a friendly addition to the CFTA site

Here at CFTA we love to stay tuned with the fast changing web technology. Enter the wonderful Snap Shots ® browsing feature. It helps better present each CFTA artist to prospective fans at CFTA, and it makes browsing for CFTA visitors pleasantly more efficient.

Next time you browse CFTA artists, give it a try, simply bring your mouse pointer over any artist's home page link, and see a preview of the site before clicking and going there. It helps save clicking back and forth and closing windows just to have glance at a site's home page. Like the snap shot? Click on it to proceed. Not impressed? Save yourself clicking over there, and stroll along to the next artist.

Happy CFTA strolling...
