What if your client specifically asks for Flash? I have a job for a
photographer client coming up and Flash is ideal. They want to have a
wow factor.

Personally I don't mind, but I would _prefer_ to see flash within a
webpage utilising current best html practices. Especially since there
is some incorporation of a login area for subjects to see his
photography of their event and an admin facility to upload photos.

My only concern is that the client may want to keep a little bit of
that wow factor that flash can provide, so it's all down to pros and
cons I guess. It's just another tool. It's not a bottom-line solution
to everything. Any suggestions/advice however, are welcome.
