RE: FN-FORUM: Flash vs HTML/Javascript

That stuff looks really nice. I was actually thinking more of menus when I
said about css. That site really shows a broad range of styles, I like the
funky manhatten one. However, they are all kind of samey cos they are based
on the same template. I know this is the idea and it illustrates well the
broad range of styles possible based on the same template, but what I was
getting at was that flash content offers potential for more artistically and
visually original content. There are more options available for doing
whatever you want - this site could not be done with html/css -

Does a client want a site like this? Then you use flash. Does the client
want SEO? You do an html site too. More money and everybody's happy

However one problem I do have with flash sites is that the user interface is
usually as imaginative as the content, so half the users don't know what the
hell is going on! Html sites are more standardized and therefore tend to
offer greater usability. Well, anyway, I hope I've made my point.
