The Truth About Flash
First, the good news. Websites built using flash can be very appealing depending on the developer's creativity and capabilities. The possibilities are limitless. Flash animation and motion graphics give the user a dynamic experience and, with the right content, may keep the user coming back. There is no doubt that Flash can create an engaging, entertaining experience for the user.
There are many advantages for the web designer or web developer too. A Flash website is relatively easy to create. With drag-and-drop technology, wysiwyg editors and user friendly software available, a rookie designer can build an entire site without knowing a single line of code. For developers that are versed in scripting languages such as actionscript, javascript or php, whatever you can imagine can be created. Additionally, Flash websites avoids issues with cross-browser compatability.
With browser resolutions getting larger, flash is easy for a developer to deploy because flash renders well across all browsers. Flash will look virturally the same all browsers whether you using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.
Now, the bad news.
What is a CMS?
Not too long ago at the height of the dot com boom, owning and operating a website was an intimidating, challenging prospect. Your basic static website would cost thousands of dollars to build and affordable only to large corporations and small businesses with deep pockets. Most of the cost was attributed to hours upon hours of labor and hand-coding.
Shortly after the bubble burst, competition began to heat up due to the fallout when the dot coms became dot bombs. Prices began to fall because, in part, of the increase in availability of out-of-work programmers and designers.
As time passed, many programmers and IT professionals started to hang their own shingle out and created start-ups hawking web programming and design services to the small business. In those days small business web development was a niche market. Most developers were trying to land big business web contracts worth thousands of dollars. Others saw the potential of small business web development did well early on. These entrepreneurs focused on quantity but not necessarily over quality. Therein lies the problem.
