Why should I use Flash on my web design?
Flash for your website can help you get a specific point across to your customers quickly with a professional looking presentation.
Since Flash is so good, should my entire website design incorporate Flash?
It could, but unfortunately Flash is an image. How that affects your site is search engines may not catalogue your site for relevant search phrases people use to find a website. Too much Flash for your website could be too much of a good thing.
When is it recommended to NOT use Flash for your website?
If you are using flash as your entire home page or starting page, that page may not perform well on search engines. An effective web design will incorporate Flash so that it enhances your website’s look and feel, without detracting from your main message.
