More about Flash design

With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies and frameworks, many people ask us whether Flash is still relevant. The answer to this question is that it depends on what you might use Flash for. It's important to remember that there are still many things that Flash can do that you simply cannot do with any of the core technologies that are described as being Web 2.0. Flash still offers an amazing environment to create truly beautiful, awe-inspiring, dynamic and original work.

Of course, whether a company actually needs Flash will be totally dependent on the type of company it is and what that company wants to achieve from their website. For many people, the fact that search engines find Flash websites difficult to index is a serious problem; for others not so, as they don't expect to drive traffic from search engines to their website. Of course, good web designers will be able to cater for this in several ways, but the implementation of these methods will be dependent on several factors including time and budget available.

When is Flash design best used?

There are several factors to consider when implementing Flash design. Key questions are: Do we need to have our entire website in Flash? Is it better to incorporate Flash elements into a website created to illustrate dynamic and innovative content? Will work effectively to list our website in search engines?

These decisions are extremely important for any company to get right. However, there are also a number of other factors that should be considered:

• Do we need Content Management?
• How often will the site be updated?
• Is our audience going to have Flash installed?

As an example, 1minus1 offers Flash design and Flash development, but we don't currently have any Flash on our website. This is because for us, we can demonstrate our abilities and experience by pointing our visitors at websites such as LSA Search, Stiff Records and Ransom Wood to show them what we can do. For those companies that aren't web design agencies however, it could of course be very different. Your options need carefully weighing up before deciding which is the best strategy for your company.
