Interactive Image Map Plugin – Draw Attention

Description

Draw Attention® makes it easy to create interactive image maps for your website. Highlight sections of your images with hotspots so that users can click/tap or hover to read more information about each image map area. Show more content or direct the user to another URL upon clicking or hovering your hotspot.

The image map can contain more information such as images, text, shortcodes, gallery, video, audio, and more. Reveal more information on click/tap or hover. Create custom shapes for interactive hotspots directly on your original image.

Perfect for sketch maps, interactive floor plans for real estate, clickable infographics, interactive affiliate content, sketch annotations, image tutorials, product feature highlights on WooCommerce, and more.

Image Map Features:

  • Draw Unlimited Hotspots: Highlight as many areas as you want in your image map
  • Highlight on Hover: Highlight different image hotspot areas when your site visitor moves their mouse over the interactive image
  • Customizable Colors: Choose your own custom color scheme for the image map to match your site
  • More Info on Click: When a highlighted area is clicked, show more information. Great to highlight points of interest on your image map
  • Go to a URL: Optionally send a site visitor to another URL when clicking highlightable hotspots on your image map

Responsive Design

Interactive image maps resize to fit your theme and the available screen size. Draw Attention works on all devices and adjusts your image to screens of any size. Works great on touch screens, such as tablet and mobile, too!

Accessible

Image maps are accessible to everyone who visits your site, regardless of device or capabilities. Your content is accessible to screen readers. All highlightable hotspots can be accessed by keyboard commands. Anyone on any device can use your interactive image map.

SEO Friendly Clickable Annotations

Draw Attention is built with the principles of progressive enhancement in mind, so your content is accessible even to users who have JavaScript disabled and is SEO friendly, too! Draw Attention draws SVG shapes in modern browsers and falls back to a standard image map if JavaScript is disabled.

Place your interactive image map into any page or post with a simple shortcode, or use our convenient Beaver Builder module or WordPress Editor Block.

Before you invest too much time in the learning curve and the time spent to add your hotspots, please note that it appears you can only have 1 image in the free version. So if all you needed were 2 images, the second one will cost you $99.

Surprise? Perhaps I shouldn't have been. Superb customer support here at Draw Attention. I have some pretty bonehead problems but the team handled them smoothly and without making me feel the least bit, uh, stupid. Even when I came back with the same or a similar problem three times in a row. When I finally figured out it wasn't their problem, they still didn't scold me in the least! Thank you, DA team.

We have developed several apartment rental modules for various customers with Draw Attention Pro. The plugin has proved particularly effective and stable. It's an inexpensive solution for a floor selector, and a very effective one at that. Support is also very present and eager to help. I really recommend using this plugin, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
