"Flash based sites the good and the bad aspects"Flash sites have been becoming more and more popular and since Macromedia keeps adding things into Flash they only conclusion we can really come to is there will be even more Flash based sites. Flash based sites are usually slow loading and not normally necessary. Where and when do you really need Flash on a site?While Flash's actionscript creates a lot of possibilities for programmers and designers to use Flash that doesn't mean it should be used for everything. It does create a lot of nice interactive features from really nice feedback forms to some really cool Flash based games. It's a whole new level of interactivity. Flash based games even get me to come back to a site to play more. Nor do you have to worry about browsers having problems with it or writing separate subroutines for Internet Explorer, Opera or Firefox so they will display CSS code correctly. Irritating that none of the software vendors browsers all follow the same standards as they should. Flash solves that problem. Your site will work in every browser, every time as long as the Flash player is installed. With Flash you can make use of it's animation to give your visitors or surfers a message in a more efficient way. Flash is a lightweight way for animating things because it's vector based and has a smaller file size than the real movie files that are raster based and much larger in file size.
To see any of your Flash animations or movies your surfers will have to have the Flash player so your surfers or visitor group will be smaller because not everyone has the Flash player installed and not everyone wants it. If they don't have it you will have to put a button on your site so they can go to the Flash download page and get it. Whoa, wait a minute, you just sent a visitor away from your site. Will they come back? What if they have problems with getting it installed? Then you lost a customer. If you do your site in Flash it's much harder to get good search engine positions because most will not be able to index your site and get it into their index. This means less free traffic to your site. However a bit of Flash here and there, where it will do the most good, is a great idea. Just not an all Flash site. Your visitors will have to wait longer for the Flash content to load compared to normal text and graphics. Your potential customers might just lose interest and hit the back button. Remember, the longer it takes a site to load the greater chance you have of losing a customer. Once again, only use Flash where you really need the interactivity and animation that comes with it otherwise use a mix of Flash and HTML or even pure text if your site can be designed that way. |
