Ever visited a website with animated elements, maybe music and sound effects? Chances, the site was probably a “Flash” on the site. “Flash”, sites are created with a special program such as Macromedia Flash 8: It lets you create Web sites with video, graphics, sound, music and more. Most of the websites that you have seen, are not moving, and probably not with music or sound effects. You may also have seen that some sites have regularly animated elements.

For example, Web sites can be completely “Flash”, or they can just “flash” as elements animated head. Some sites, of course, no “Flash” on all items.

Let’s take a look at what the pros and cons of the “Flash”. Flash content can be dramatic: A good designer can be a beautiful site in Flash shift - I recently visited a website to get an interior design firm. After treatment of the sequence of the logo, I found myself “and” a house with the discreet background music played. I have on my front door, and after a short sequence of loading, I was on a panorama 3D-video-clip of the play with stories about what happens interior design decisions were made in this space. This was an attack on the senses! This site has captivated by the audio-visual and meaning, and there was a high level of interactivity. It was also sliding and erased the impression of the company, which is in the possession of the site: site Slick, Slick, right?

If you think: “This is like my type of site,” then I am going you are not to blame - on this site was the most efficient! However, “Flash” is not perfect, and this is the reason why. Not really search engines such as “Flash” as many sites as you want plain old fashioned “text and pictures.” Because Google is to know that this website is about improving the interior? It does not work. Mighty Google is very good to read. If this is the visit of a website on TEXT Interior design, there would digitization site, and soon discover that the Web site. Therefore, able to serve until this website in the results when people have tried to “Interior Design.” A human being may be rather the “flash” of this site, but leaves Flash Site Google perplexed. Google can not really see or hear of Flash videos, narration. How is it supposed to find out what the site?

There are also other drawbacks of Flash sites. They are heavy and slow, making a viewer function video animations or fancy they see maybe not. Not all computers can “flash” elements. Where does quite a “flash” to leave the site, with data of potential customers, computers? Think about it.

In conclusion, let me say, think carefully about the purpose of your site, there is a choice of the design Flash on a number of texts and images fashioned. My advice is for people to use economic Flash of the majority of the web site design projects, if ever. Flash content is not ideal for placement search engine, and if the man is unable to find in the search engines that you have perhaps not always. A site entirely Flash might be useful when it comes to a campaign of the real world such as leaflets or posters. In this case, people will not find your site through a search engine. Remember, the text will always be King of the Internet.
