Flash Website Design

 

Web designers that use Adobe Flash are specialists and not an area covered by all developers.

 

The majority of websites are built using HTML and PHP. However Flash uses actionscript.

So what are the differences between HTML and Flash?

 

Just about everything! HTML sites are static and are built to be functional as well cope really well with SEO (search engine optimisation).

 

In contrast Flash sites have moving components, which can appear really stylish and eye catching. However the downside is that they cannot cope with SEO at all.

Flash is quite often used for presentations.

 

However there is a solution. Good Flash designers will be able to use both Flash and HTML. Instead of creating a Flash site, the moving components from Flash can be used inside an HTML getting the best of both worlds. It is important for the body text and buttons / links to be in HTML, leaving any other component to be in Flash.

 

The alternative is to split the site into two giving the visitor the option to use a Flash version or HTML version.

 

What can Flash Web designers do?

 

Move shapes and pictures around the screen - this is called motion tweening.

 

Other key features include fading, colour changing and masking images.
