Flash Design – Captivate Your Visitors with a Visually Appealing, Interactive Website
Flash started out as a fast platform for simple animations. But the technology was held back at first, since it required a separate plug-in to view it. However, the Flash platform has expanded radically over the past few years. Now it allows for true interactivity – dynamic content, support for audio and video, full-scale website gallery displays, etc.
Most importantly, every major browser now has Flash support by default. Flash can now be integrated seamlessly into your website—making a colorful, interactive Web presence that grabs visitors' attention. So you can show them everything from streaming video to complex Web applications.
Would a captive audience be useful for your business?

Business Advantages of Using Flash
Browser-Independent: Every major browser supports Flash now. Your Flash-based website looks the same to everyone.
Draws Visitors In: Flash demos make products/services more appealing to visitors' eyes. Same with Flash-based layouts and menus.
Fast Download: Making a short presentation in Flash means it'll load up faster than some video formats.
No More SEO Barrier: Flash got a bad rap for years, since search engines couldn't "see" it properly. But new advances in SEO have made it much easier to track who views Flash animations, and for how long. In fact, so long as there's an HTML foundation to the site, completely-Flash-based websites can rank in search engines easily.
Take it Offline: Flash animations are self-contained. They can be used offline (e.g. shown in a corporate boardroom during your presentation) just as easily.
Differentiate Yourself: Most importantly, a Flash-based website is more memorable than a non-Flash website (what's called a "static website"). If you're more memorable than your competitor…guess who gets more business?
