About sds Heritage our work
interactive prospectuses
Complement your school's existing web site or printed brochure with an interactive prospectus on CD-ROM. With our bespoke software, we can take your existing brochure or prospectus and transform it into a more engaging and interactive experience.

Key features include:
Optional page turning animation
Word search
Page navigation buttons
Print
Pop-up contents menu
Zoom (with scroll buttons)
Active web and e-mail links
Optional integrated rich media, such as video and audio

Our software can be set to run in a window, or to open in full-screen (kiosk) mode, and features an interface customised to suit your school's colours and identity. The functionality of the software can also be customised to suit your requirements, and the CD-ROM itself adjusted to include other media such as photographic galleries, archived documents, as well as sound and video to further enhance the experience.

A CD-ROM-based version of your prospectus could also save you thousands. Production costs of a CD are a fraction of that of a printed brochure; postage costs too would be considerably cheaper.

print pages
The Print Page dialog box contains numerous options, enabling you to print exactly what you need. Choose to print a single page (left or right), the page spread in view, the entire brochure, or even just one particular article or photograph on a page.

zoom tools
Zoom in up to 250% of the original size (without loss in quality of text or image) to see the prospectus in amazing detail. Use the navigation box to scroll around the pages to view certain areas. You can even use the keyboard's cursor keys to scroll around.

page navigation
Using the back/forward buttons on the floating toolbar, it is possible to read the brochure linearly (just as you might in real life). However, there is also a pop-up menu which enables users to be able to quickly jump to a section (such as the curriculum, contact details, subjects in detail, or costs).

word search
As well as navigating your way through the prospectus using the subject menu and back/foward buttons, the software also has a basic key word search tool.
customised packaging and design
The finished product can be supplied to you in a variety of different packaging (including Amaray-style DVD boxes, plastic wallets with inserts, or slimline CD jewel cases)) complete with custom-designed artwork. The on-body artwork can be printed directly on to the disc's surface, or on paper labels.
web-enabled version
Your interactive prospectus product can be modified to work on the Web (using the popular Adobe Flash plug-in). Principally, the online version is an almost duplicate of the CD-ROM software (though at a lower resolution to reduce the time it takes to transfer over the Net), which includes word searching, page animations and print tools. Again, this is fully-customised to suit your establishment's identity.
