 Advertising Features & Descriptions

StMaarten.org Home Page Rotating Photos (740 x 350 pixels)
The rotating photos at the top of the Home Page were created to give your business maximum customer visibility through the use of an attractive image. When StMaarten.org opens on a computer screen, your photo and 19 others will be viewed by customers first as the photos rotate across their screens. This provides your business the greatest level of visibility and name recognition; and, to paraphrase a famous saying, "A photo is worth 1,000 words!"

The 20 photos rotate once every 3 seconds, which allows each photo to be viewed once per minute. In addition, every photo in the rotation is viewed 525,600 times during the year. You may replace your photo with a new one every three months. Rotating photos do not hyperlink to any other web site. The sole purpose of the rotating photos is to provide your business with maximum customer visibility and name recognition before they arrive on StMaarten/StMartin. Your business name, location, email address or a brief advertising message can be typed across the photo.-
