Building Web Site on the Street

  Flash Sites and Elements

It’s not all about looks. 
It would be hard to argue that a well-built basic site could ever look as nice as a well-built Flash site.  Flash sites have movement, cool transitions, music, sounds and that cool sound equalizer that you can turn on and off.

Being “flashy” does come with a price, and what suffers is Search Engine Optimization.  Where Flash arguably looks the best, it performs the very worst when it comes to helping your site with Search Engines rankings. 

Flash is nearly invisible to the Search Engines. 
They simply don't read past the head information on the page.  If your site is built totally in Flash, you probably will never be ranked by the Search Engines.
That being said, our goal when creating sites is that they be found on the web  by surfers.  We want your site to bring you more business and make you more money.  As a result, we normally don’t build Flash-only sites.  

Ways to make it work. 
Of course, we always look at individual needs and try to determine what’s best for you.  We can provide portions of the site that are Flash-based, and can offer direction on how to add Flash without hurting your site’s effectiveness.

As with everything we do, all services are quoted up front before any work begins.  Also, you are involved throughout the process and have input as the work progresses.
