A website built using Macromedia Flash™ can incorporate a much higher level of interactivity than a standard HTML website. Flash™ allows you to add complex animations and special sound effects that enhance the user experience.
Are there any drawbacks for using Flash™?
Unfortunately, Macromedia Flash™ is not search engine friendly. This may or may not affect your particular needs but it is a big problem for the majority of website owners that rely on search engines for website traffic. The best solution is to use Flash™ in small doses. So, rather than building your entire website in Flash™, we recommend building the bulk of your website in HTML and incorporating small Flash™ animations in certain areas of your pages, banners for example. That way you get the best of both worlds - your website will obtain much higher rankings in search engines and also offer some additional interactivity above and beyond a standard HTML website.
Flash™ can sometimes also dramatically increase your website loading time which results in users leaving your website before it has even loaded. This is another reason why it is best to minimise the use of Flash™ on your website.
