Sidebars

Our sidebars are very similar to our desktop windows, but provide more focused and compact content that can be easily anchored to a familiar location. Sidebars slide out when needed and then slide back out of the way at the click of the mouse. And with another branding position, the sponsor can be sure that they slide right along with it.
