flash websites

Hi

Is it a good idea to have a web site totally built in Macromedia Flash, what is its +'s and -'s.

I ask as ive been working on one for myself and just want a bit of advice.
Any would be most welcome.

Regards

Manny

I generally don’t bother looking at websites that are totally flash, but then I’m a grumpy git and like websites done using notepad :wink:

I’m not alone though so you run the risk of people not bothering to look :exclamation: :exclamation:

Thanks Convoy for those links very helpful.
Ive been trying to get some work doing web design to bump up the old coffers since the RTD came in.

Had a few jobs and one pending and that guy want a total flash site ( architects gotta love erm :laughing: ). so im trying to get my head around Flash and have a little. mind you i still havent got it around CSS yet lol.

I think Flash has its place for certain types of web sites, but like denis F im a grumpy old git.

heres my 1st go at a flash site that ive built for me to get some work.

Creep. So you assume that if you bestow exhultations and platitudes, you can keep the link.

WELL. It worked.

But why do I have to turn my ruddy monitor on its side to read it? :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

I’d say you’ve got the Flash thing sorted - that link you posted looks good.

So long as there is a ‘get out’ (skip intro) you shouldn’t get any complaints; remember there are still a few folk out there who’s PC’s haven’t moved on too far from the ZX81!! Speed & downloads can put some people of a site if it’s too flashy (or good!!).
