Brand Thunder LLC, the world leaders in browser themes and
custom interactive browser themes for Firefox, Chrome & Internet Explorer,
announced today the launch of the first do-it-yourself browser theme creator
that allows anyone to easily design, build and share interactive browser themes
for the leading Internet browsers. In less than three minutes, a browser theme
that includes a logo, multiple background images, toolbar buttons and news
feeds can be shared via an automatically created download page.
Bloggers, sports teams, musicians and fan sites are already using the product
to reach their online audiences. Designed as a community tool for online
publishers, it’s so easy to use and simple to update the images and buttons
used in the browser theme, Brand Thunder expects individuals will also use BT: Engage
to create their own themes that can be shared with families and friends.
Selecting images from the library of graphics offered by Brand Thunder, or
uploading your own pictures and graphics creates the theme imagery. Adding
buttons is as simple as typing a title and a URL. News feeds are added by
copying a URL for an existing RSS feed, or using the included RSS feed
generator. The combination of visual and interactive components lends itself to
increased brand awareness and engagement between publisher and fan base.
“We consistently see our themes drive 8 to 12 times more visits than a normal
visitor to our client web sites,” said Patrick Murphy, CEO and Founder of Brand
Thunder. “It’s a free tool, with huge engagement potential, benefitting
businesses and web sites of all sizes – perfect for the current economic
environment.”
The BT: Engage platform is a showcase of JavaScript and HTML5 requiring one of
the latest browsers, Firefox 3.6+, Google Chrome or IE9. The browser themes
created, however, are for use on Firefox 3.0+ and IE7+. Behind the user
experience are Lithium PHP framework and Mongodb to allow flexibility and
scalability needed for a product of this type. In its current state, BT: Engage
is an end-to-end solution with a basic feature set. Following the agile
software development movement, new features and improvements will roll out continuously.
