Re: How do i make website designs and flash designs?
Avoid flash unless you 100% definitely absolutely need it. The majority of people will leave a flash based site before its even loaded. Myself included, and as I'm a web designer for my job, I know the trade well. I have a flash based site at work and the site used to get a lot of hits before the flash was put onto it (owners choice, not mine). Now it gets very few and he wants the flash removing again.
Flash is only designed to be used for very professional designs and the odd video player or audio player like youtube and the likes. Its not designed to make fully fledged sites with.
Another thing if you must go with flash is sound. Don't have sound playing by default and/or with no option to stop it. That WILL drive 99% of viewers away from your site. The same goes for any embedded music players. I rarely view myspace pages but the ones that play music when opened really do irritate the hell out of me so I close the page instantly. Friends then realise why I won't go on it.
Hope this gives you a bit of insight and maybe persuade you to stay away from flash. A good site only has to be functional and easy to read, nothing more.
