Flash Animations

Whilst enhancing a website with animated sections, it is important to ensure that either a Flash intro to your website or animations like “dropboxes” do not interfere with the loading speed of your webpage, experience shows that if users have to wait for any length of time (above 5 seconds) they will most likely lose interest and you will not gain that potential viewer of your business services or club activities.

Many web designers think that having lots of Flash graphics, moving images and javascripts is the best way to build websites, however, all these Flash graphics come with overheads.

For example you will pay more for the extra work involved in the Flash graphics, your website pages will take longer to load into a viewers web browser and (a very important consideration) search engines find Flash intro pages difficult to rank, so pages reliant on a Flash intro are much less likely to obtain good search engine positions making it harder for people to find your products or services.

The websites we build normally rely on simple but effective navigation and a relatively low level of Flash movies during construction, meaning our clients are not paying for extras that they do not require. We do use Java and Flash, plus cgi and php scripts for some features, but they are only used when there is good reason for their use.

Our websites are all designed specifically around our clients needs. We work hard to ensure each website is attractive, fast loading, well laid out with faultless navigation so that our clients image is suitably reflected within their website.
