Flash Animation - the Pros and Cons

OK, we admit it. Flash animation looks good in certain circumstances, and for certain companies working in certain sectors. Nightclubs, trendy bars and restaurants, and anyone in the entertainment industry with money to burn - that's the limit on flash animation as far as we're concerned!

Don't get us wrong - we are always looking for ways to add interest to our clients' sites for the simple reason that added interest leads to more unique users, better bounce rate, and more click to customer conversions. It's just that flash animation doesn't support the many features of web development that make your website search engine friendly. So, we would always recommend you invest your budget on SEO friendly aspects such as images and video that can be embedded in the website as useful illustrations, but don't waste your money on an introductory flash - especially if you normally click "Skip Intro >>>"!

So how can you add interest to your site without flash animation? Well, take a look at some of the examples below. We can employ a number of simple but effective development techniques to ensure that your website has interest and a professional level of SEO features.
