17 years ago, Jonathan Gay helped pioneer the technology that has helped shape the internet as we know it today. Flash is a favorite tool of web designers to bring websites to life, adding videos, rotating images, and widgets to web pages.
Although Flash is often abused by amateur web designers that get a little carried away, it certainly plays an important role in professional web design. One problem is that websites that are designed strictly in Flash can create search engine indexing problems. This means people may not be able to find your website when they perform a Google search.
Other internet users can experience compatibility issues. For instance, Iphones cannot display Flash applications, and instead it displays an empty box with a question mark. Other internet users have to install Flash before they can experience the applications, creating hurdles for many people who aren't comfortable installing software.
Even with these drawbacks, Flash has its place in professional web design. Just view some of our work to see how we can incorporate Flash into your website.
