Flash-based Websites

Flash is for sites with no content. The kind of URLs you find on the back of bags of junk food.

There are no exceptions to this rule.

Flash is great for animations and bringing multiple media types together in synch (video + audio + text + pictures etc) for things like presentations. It is generally bad for large bodies of text, site navigation (although that depends on the author), accessibility, search engine rankings.

I have never seen a site totally implemented in flash that was useful or easy to use or had any benefit other than making me go 'ooh' for a few moments. I would say unless there is a specific calling for flash then avoid it.

flash should only be used for games and ads... and even then it shouldnt be used.

EDIT: haha i guessed there would be 17 "No!"s (which there is atm)

I hate Flash and anything associated with it. I personally would be happy if Flash would have never been created.
