Designing Flash Sites

Once you learn what a flash site can do you really will think that the options are never ending.   Many people do not know what flash is, let alone what they can do with its power.  This article will go over some of the great things you can do with flash, so you can start applying them to your sites today.

The first thing we need to cover are the main functions of flash web elements.   The main things that all sites need to be aware of are: flash introductions, flash advertisements, and flash games.  You’ll find that these are all very useful elements of a good flash web site that you have already encountered.

Flash introductions are great because they really draw the web visitor in and immediately make him part of the site and all of its glory.  You’ll find that many websites have flash intros that are both captivating and visually appealing at the same time.  These introductions can be great when done right, but tend to detract from a site that has made the intro in a poor or overly lengthy manner.

Next is flash advertisements for businesses and other web sites.  Most web users have decided to click on a flash ad or two and know how clickable they can be.   These ads are very interesting and are usually fully interactive.  Their click through rate is usually much higher than standard ads and as a result they make more money for their advertisers.

Games made from flash are played through the web browser and are great because they do not have to take up room on user’s computers.   These games are great for people that do not want to download a game onto their computer.  The only word of caution is that they do not work very well with slow Internet connections as they can be very resource intensive.  You wouldn’t want to build an elaborate game if your target market were people using dial up connections.

A free website can be created with flash by accessing a website named wix.   This company will allow you to create a flash based web site for absolutely no money.   This is great for people that want to get a taste of flash, but do not have the money to go about paying for it.
