subject: The Power Of Flash Website Design [print this page] Flash website design is a tricky subject for a lot of people. For as powerful a tool as Flash can be it is also a development method that can go horribly wrong without the right experience to know how to use the tool to its maximum capabilities without creating off putting distractions that drive visitors away.
It is for this reason specifically that you need an experienced website design firm like 1804 Designs to help you walk that fine line between beautiful, functional, flash websites and tacky distracting sites.
To begin we will first decide if a Flash site is really the best strategy for you. Surprisingly many clients who think they want a flash site in fact would rather have a traditional HTML based site once the issues are explained to them. To us Flash is first and foremost a tool for delivering content; not something that exists just to make the web pretty. There are plenty of other more cost effective and SEO friendly ways to do this. When you make the choice to work with 1804 Web Designs you are making the choice to work with a firm that places the usability of your site over the expensive extras many firms like to tack on. We would much rather give you a less costly HTML site than a more expensive flash site if, after a consultation, it's agreed upon that HTML would best suit your needs.
