At First Hand

If you ever decide to replace your boring directory links for an amazing clickable map to present your web site information for counties or states of your country, look no further, I have the perfect solution.

I use the brilliant JQuery plugin MapHilight to create excellent hover over effects for my county and state maps of the world. It has revitalized interest in using such a technique to present clickable maps at your website or blog.

Creating a perfect hover over effect for any image map is an ordeal and plotting coordinates to make this effect is even more time consuming but very worthwhile as you can see in my demo clickable map of the Germany. If you dont pay attention to detail the effect is lost and it wont look good. I have plotted perfect coordinates for many county and state maps, to see the effect checkout my latest creation a clickable map of France.

OK so we have all the correct coordinates plotted to produce a great hover over effect, so now we need to have a nice map design for the map in question. This is also a tedious job for a webmaster to create and trace county borders…that’s why I have created layered photoshop images with all the state borders traced with the pen tool 1 pixel in black on a white background.

There you have it a ready made kit for making amazing clickable maps for your website or blog, usually at 600 pixels width perfect for most web pages. The whole process of making a clickable map like this from scratch is very time consuming and can be very expensive to pay a webmaster to create this and even worse days and weeks of your own precious time if you decide to make it yourself. Plotting tight coordinates for the 130 counties of the United Kingdom and Ireland clickable map took me two weeks to complete. See the splendid result at my website www.clickable maps.com.

Whenever you or your clients need a good quality clickable map of USA, EUROPE or ASA, I provide full downloadable editable photoshop image files complete with html code to simply cut and paste into your webpage. Save hours, days weeks of your time. Joomla users who have problems displaying image maps on their pages, I have a solution for that problem too. See me at my website www.clickablemaps.com. Clickable maps for webmasters.
