Flash Website design and development
Everyone that visits a Flash website cannot help but be impressed by lustre and quality these websites exude.
But why are there not more? The main problem with Flash is that it has, traditionally, required a plug in from Adobe to display the content. That was until Internet Explorer 6. Now most, if not all, web browsers support the loadmovie command meaning that the Flash content will now play automatically.
We have seen a surge of Flash website design demand in the last 6 months and we believe that Flash has come of age. Even mobile devices now support flash player enriching the user experience all the more.
However, we still suggest caution, as search engines can still find indexing Flash websites tricky. To a large extent we have overcome this problem by separating the content from the movie. This is done by using external Extensible Markup Language (XML) to feed the movie with the data.
You may or may not know that Google uses XML generated site maps to help indexing websites. Which is a pretty strong endorsement.
As a separate file, the XML, is easily readable by search engines and importantly easy to update, no Flash needed, meaning that just about anyone can change the content.
Our XML Flash websites are driven by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which comply with accessibility standards. As an extra step and for added assurance we wrap it all up in a standard HTML / CSS wrapper.
We are developing a range of e-commerce solutions based on Flash and XML using MySql and PHP to automatically generate the XML in real time. This provides a rich environment to display your products and, at last, getting away from messy and clunky table driven systems.
Our custom Flash / XML websites start from as little as £1,200 and e-commerce solutions from £2,500. So make your website stand out from the crowd. Flash has come of age.
The new range will be available from August 2009. But if you want a sneaky preview call us on 01285 711699 and we will take you through a couple of previews.
