One of the most asked questions we get is ” ohhh, I like their website… I like the way those things move around the page”
So lets break it down as there are many different forms of “flash” ( flash is a brand name from the adobe corp for a style of doing websites)
In the above example people are mostly talking about websites being made COMPLETELY using Flash. Then there are parts of a website that move a little and then there are parts of a website that move because they are tailor made.
The quick rap up and i will expand on this further down the page:
Completely Flash websites, forget them, if you have one get rid of it, google doesn’t like it, mobiles don’t like it, ipad doesn’t even see it !
Parts that move a little, these use different technology and are fine…. thats what we use.
Tailor made, used in small amounts of not really important areas …fine, but open your wallet and keep opening it if you want something changed.
The Full Story
What we do like is using a little bit of flash here and there and Google and Ipad, Iphone agree with us. We do not not build full Flash websites and we strongly suggest you do not get one ( even if you do not choose us, PLEASE do not get a full Flash website )
At this moment we have the best balance of content and presentation for all formats that your potential patient may access you from and are developing and refining these daily.
Yes, we offer Flash presentations as a service but we don’t reccommend them and even then we advise that they are used in small areas only and they are not cheap to produce !
The reason you have a website is to make it easy for people to contact you, its the now, its the future and Yellow Pages id DEAD. The harder you make it for someone to find your phone number, the slower your website loads ( because Flash is SLOW) the less chance you have of gaining a new patient.
Google doesn’t like it and if you’re not on the first page of google then you are nowhere.
“But i see NIKE and COCA COLA have flash websites” , yes and if you have their budget I will take your money and say YES everytime you have an idea, I will however be sitting in my beach house working via my laptop drinking champagne served by my butler.
We build websites that make businesses MONEY, thats what we do.
I can tell you nobody likes your logo as much as you do and having it flash past them everytime they click really bugs them.
Still not convinced? check out this website: http://www.totalfocuscleaning.com.au/ , i didn’t build it .
Actually ! I’ve said enough, just go to the website above and it says it all.
The reason for this page is because we get asked all the time for this, by me detailing it here means i no longer have to explain my reasons. If you want an FULL Adobe Flash website please do not contact us.
