Website Design & Development

Flash is a popular method for adding animation and interactivity to websites.

Websites can be built entirely into Flash creating a continuously engaging visitor experience or it can be used as embedded, stand along pieces like headers, video, photo galleries, etc.

What are the pros and cons of using Flash?

  • Pros:
    • Flash can make a website more attractive, interactive and dynamic.
    • Flash is a great way to use a small bit of real estate very effectively. Within a 30 second period Flash can show a whole company presentation or profile on a website.
    • Flash websites are the standard in many industries like condo and property development, the entertainment industry, etc.
  • Cons:
    • Search engines cannot read Flash so having an entire website in Flash will greatly hinder your search engine ranking.
    • Too much Flash can cause your website to load slowly, especially for those not on a fast Internet connection. Visitors might get frustrated and leave your website or might not delve as deeply into your website if the pages load slowly.
    • Too much Flash can be unprofessional and excessive use is not suitable for some conservative industries.

How to you use Flash effectively.

  • A website header or other embedded Flash piece that cycles through key messages, products, portfolio samples or client testimonials.
  • Video showing how to use a product or describing your services. Videos in Flash are embedded in the page and do not require you to have multiple formats for multiple programs like RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc.
  • A Photo Gallery showcasing event photos or a portfolio, etc.
  • Banner Ads. View our banner ad portfolio
  • Ecards. View our ecard ad portfolio
