FLASH SITES OR HTML SITES ?

[Mirai]

---

Well, like dulcepixels said.. "It's the obligation of the designer to educate his client about the importance of both technology." Most clients only say what they usually hear from other people with websites. Flash this, Flash that. So they'd think that Flash is the "in" thing; naturally they'd want "in" too. It's depressing how influence can go a long way and turn into some trend.

Also, not everyone is on broadband; so there's always that to take into consideration when building a Flash-enabled website.

What ticks me off the most is the fact that most designers on Flash tend to overlook that little fact.
And OH! those loading pages!

Case study:
http://www.audionet.com.ph/

• How long can you wait for the products to load?
• How easy is it to add new product items or new promo events to this website by an AudioNet staff member?
• Would you care to come back and wait all over again for new items added?

This site is really nice, but I think a large portion of Philippine home internet user still use the slow dial-ups. Just like me

It totally depends on the client, I agree.

Example ha:

Akong boss nga itom naay 4 corporate businesses pero ang iya gusto sa iya Real Estate flash intro gyud. But since sayang ang free marketing from major search engine referrals, himoan ug flash nya himuan pa gyud ug static, an impressive flash header is okay na para sa static.

This is gonna be the first time she's having a website, and she relied on word of mouth from friends, clients who tell their friends. Now, kung naa na siyay flash website inig hatag niya sa iya business card then mo visit ang iyang prospective client impress to da max. So flash² tinuod pang impress lang gyud. Pero effective gyud pang.ingganyo sa taw. To me, web owners who take special consideration on how they present themselves to the public take that much effort with their services.

Spam daw nang redirects. Naa gyuy manglusot full flash sites #1, #2, then you wonder asay text nga na index nga walay ni usa. Redirects diay.

Manganvass man gyud ta una ta mopalit no? And we want info gathering about a company and its products or services quick. Mao na mapunta gani ning kasagaran ug flash site nga naay taas nga intro way pasensya mohuwat, move on to the next in line. BUT, you can hit two stones at one time. Butangan daw choice ang visitor if he wants to view simple or animated version of the website, pero ang homepage dapat pang SEO, definitely not a bad idea it could work. Site statistics will tell you asay preferred sa mga visitors between the simple and animated version.

So, ako solusyon sa ako boss, flash site and SEO targeted site. Duha gyuy himuon para madatu siya samot. Pero ang SEO targeted site naay preference as I said above. So way mahay.

Perting explain naku sa ako boss about search engines nga di gyud mabitik ug crawler ang flash, heheh murang bata gakusmaod ang simud, "I want this, it's sooo cute". Hehehe. Niundang nalang ko eksplekar. She's willing to spend man pud so k ra.

Mo na, kinsa ninyo maayo mohimo professional flash intros and headers pm me I got a job for you, pwede start ASAP. I don't know pricing sa pnas but I know how much it costs here. PM me please!

..."ARC Worldwide, a division of ad agency Leo Burnett, created its winning site to highlight Leo Burnett campaigns for the likes of Canadians for Equal Marriage and Visa. However, the real showstopper is not the campaigns, but the unusual way you navigate the site. While dizzying at first, you'll feel as free as a kid chalking on a sidewalk once you give into it."...

Just develop in php or mix php and html. Flash is anyhow crap.

I find flash sites irritating since, I'd have to wait a few seconds for everything to load. Even 3 seconds is long for me. I prefer sites with nicely desinged CSS :mrgreen:

i agree with portfolios being done in flash would be better since you want to attract the viewers... and flash looks good. MHO
