Design
ZOOZOOM is designed so that the photographs automatically resize to fill the screen, the bigger the screen the bigger the picture. 'You should see this on a 30 inch monitor... wow!' says Publisher David McIntyre. The navigation is simple and the viewer sees the image, not the internet.
Advertising
Unlike other sites that are plagued by small ads that share the screen with the content, ZOOZOOM's proprietary design allows content to be displayed without ads and the ads to be delivered full-screen at a time and place that is in synch with the viewer - it's as nonintrusive as the ads at the end of a TV show. The results are breaking industry records, with some select campaigns enjoying click-through rates of over 20%!
