Does Your Flash Website Need Help?Flash website design is a unique process that allows it to offer a more dynamic and interactive user experience.
If you are interested in getting a flash website designed, we do advise talking to local experts that specialise in this kind of specialist design work.
It was introduced onto the internet around 1996, pioneered by Adobe Flash.
The primary use for this sort of technology was for animation, giving a highly animated site that could even be interactive.
Did you have a website design brief to send to website design agencies in Derby to look at, this should give them an idea of what kind of website you want (or need).
All web designers in Derby need a starting point, if anything to know what colours you want to go with, or sending some examples of websites that you like the look of.
How many pages did you want (or need), and what about adding new website content?
Here are a few points to consider including in the website brief:
There are of course lots of other things to consider, since websites can range in price from £500 to £50,000 depending on a wide range of factors. The main one being, how long it takes to create the website and what features you want, if it is built on a standard web platform or whether it is built from scratch as a custom design.
The problem with flash website design (certainly back in the late 90’s) was that it was very slow to load.
As broadband was just starting to come into being, they would take a long time to load. So even though they looked good (on paper so to speak) people got bored of waiting for them to load, and search engines also saw them as slow and sluggish.
Also you would need the latest form of Adobe.
There is mixed opinion about them even now. Many design, fashion and animation companies do use flash to show off their designs or products.
However, even with super-quick broadband, they can still be slow.
As technology has moved on since 1996, flash design has moved on, and broadband has moved on. So these days they should load fine; however, there are some that do not.
If you really want flash website design, but do not want a slow one that people get bored of loading.
Search engines downgrade, then incorporating some features may be a good compromise.
This should overcome a lot of the problems that traditionally surround them.
