Insert images, PDF files, videos and other objects
The following objects can be inserted in your CMS pages and in your product descriptions.
Please read the previous section carefully so that you are familiar with the operation of the CMS.
Photos, images and logos
Click on the upload icon to insert an image.

Big images (> 200Kb) will make your website considerably slower.Small images load much faster. After the upload you can shrink the image using the image editor.
Animated GIFs
When uploading an image to our servers, the image will be checked for errors and be resized for optimal display on the web. Unfortunately this procedure breaks GIF animations.
There is a solution: you can upload the GIF animations to an external server or image hosting, for example ImageShack. After uploading you can copy and paste the HTML code. (see description below about inserting HTML codes)

Inserting background music
We don't recommend using background music. A lot of your visitors will be irritated by background music that starts automatically. It is even one of the "Bad design practices" for websites.
For this reason it is not included in our software. However, it is possible and quite easy. Search for "music on website" in your favorite search engine for a tutorial.
Inserting a live webcam
EasyWebshop has no built-in webcam module. You need external software and web hosting for this. Live streaming is not so easy, we advise you to contact a specialist for this.
