Macromedia Flash is rapidly becoming the preferred choice of designers and site owners worldwide. As a vector based graphical animation tool it is without parallel. In the early days Flash suffered from an over exposure, and a repeated use of its obvious elements in overblown site 'intros' that had us all looking for the 'skip intro' button, so why would we be not only using Flash, but indeed offering it as a speciallist service? Beyond the animations and the effects, lies an extremely sophisticated design tool, which enables many subtle effects not possible in conventional web design. Indeed, instead of making an animated banner or intro, we have developed entire sites solely in Flash, which makes for very smooth operation, and the assurance that the site will look the same no matter what browser is used to view it. Traditional html design is affected greatly by the viewer's browser; sites can look and act very differently when viewed in Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape, and Flash offers a way around this difficulty. Many Flash sites on the web are created as single large files that take a long time to download and become available. Within the sophisticated scripting environment offered by Flash 5 we are able to load first the site structure, and then content on demand. This has the effect of dramatically speeding the procedure, making the site infinitely expandable and keeping the viewer informed of what is going on with every mouse click. We are very proud of our Flash based work, and recommend that you visit the Flash sites we have created and listed in our Portflio section. Whilst we are equally happy to design in html, we do ask that you take a moment to see what is available to you in your desire to create your site. We are committed to fast loading, clean, simple, effective designs that are a pleasure to use. If you have any questions about Flash, please let us know, we will be only too pleased to discuss its immense possibilities with you. |
