Abstract A method of displaying graphic user interface layouts including the steps of accessing a data repository storing an instruction set for constructing a graphic user interface layout through a network connection, rendering the graphic user interface layout associated with the instruction set and reducing the graphic user interface layout to a bitmap image. Once the graphics and text are laid out, the screen display is reduced to a bitmap image and associated with a uniform resource locator string. When a search query that retrieves the uniform resource locator string, the bitmap image and the uniform resource locator string are displayed to the end-user. As an alternative to displaying the actual text of the resource locator string, it may be embedded as an image hyperlink.
A method of displaying graphic user interface layouts comprising the steps of: a. accessing a data repository storing an email associated to an end-user, said email having a sender email address; b. accessing a data repository storing an instruction set for constructing a graphic user interface layout through a network connection directed to the second-level domain name of said sender email address; c. reducing said graphic user interface layout to a bitmap image; d. associating said email with said bitmap image; and e. displaying said bitmap image.
