Flash movies and applications should be used at a minimum level when developing a website, or else your website will be at risk of taking too much time for loading, thus causing visitors to lose interest. On the other hand, Flash makes websites look professional, interactive and attractive. In the end, there has to be a balance of how you use it in your website.

yes, I totally envy those people who are really good with flash. “Some designers use Flash to create an introduction movie (also known as a splash page) or will create the whole website in Flash.” … I have tried a lot of tutorials and yes, it was not easy. And I am amazed by those people who can really work with flash-based websites in just days…

Though majority of those flash sites are very nice too look at, I still would prefer a html/php based sites since they are more search engine friendly.

HBO has a lot more going for it than organic searches in the search engines. If you too had that kind of money to build your site to that popularity you could use Flash. It also matters what your target audience wants to see. If they don’t mind waiting for a movie to download before playing then it’s ok.

HBO is a flash website, the same with Monoface! We understand that Google does not read flash content… now type in True Blood on Google. Above 90 million results HBO is ranked first even above Wikipedia, so what are we saying?

HBO has the money to have exceptional servers. This plays a part on the delivery of any website.

HBO also has used other marketing techniques to get where they are and are not relying on search to be found.

For the average website owner they don’t have the resources to do this.

You can’t always blame a slow internet connection for your slow loading Flash website.

I don’t fully agree with Marian. Why? Flash sites don’t take too long to load, you probably have a slow internet connection. HBO is a flash website, the same with Monoface! We understand that Google does not read flash content… now type in True Blood on Google. Above 90 million results HBO is ranked first even above Wikipedia, so what are we saying?

i totally agree with marian. Websites with flash take very long time for loading and some websites do not have skip option also. Now if it does support SEO also i donno what is the point of using flash?

Personally when arrive at a website that uses flash I click out immediately. Flash sights just take too long to load. I ssupect that most web users feel the same….we want instant gratification. Depending on the purpose of the site, using flash could be detrimental to the whatever the may be.
