Before we can understand the advantages of Flash web designing, we need to know exactly what Flash is. Flash is a multimedia format developed by Macromedia which has come a long way since its inception. Flash allows web designers to create and develop animations and interactive movies or images that can be embedded into a web page. In its early stages, Flash was mostly used in the development of vector based animations, which meant that Flash movies could have small file sizes, so they could be downloaded and rapidly played over the internet. More recently, Flash technology has become more powerful, and developers at ProsperO now have the capacity and experience and potential to create more sophisticated web-based applications. Our developers can create any flash animation you might need to further enhance the quality of your website, from simple ad banners to great interactive e-learning tools.
This is how Flash could be used to make them more attractive and interesting:
- Advertising banners
- Online presentations
- Offline presentations
- Websites
- Internet animations
- Multimedia online movies
- CD ROMs
- Screen savers
- Software applications
So what are the main advantages of Flash web designing? If implemented properly, flash can provide a number of useful advantages over traditional web designs:
- Flash can make a website more attractive, interactive and dynamic.
- Within a 30 second period flash can show a whole company presentation or profile on a website.
- As flash movies are displayed by a Macromedia flash player plug-in, flash-based work is likely to be rendered the same on all browsers and computer platforms, therefore allowing designers to escape from the constraints of more traditional XHTML-based design interfaces.
- Flash has now become a very well-recognized format on the internet, and it is estimated that over 90% of web users now have the flash player installed on their computers
- In addition to being embedded within a web page, flash movies can also be exported to construct stand-alone executable applications, which are ideal for CD-ROMs.
- Flash movies can be stored in very small file sizes, so they can be downloaded rapidly.
- It is now possible to import external information from say a database into a flash movie. This facilitates the construction of more sophisticated flash-based applications that can automatically update themselves. What this means is that one can use the same flash interface by simply editing the external XML file.
- Flash can also be used to create innovative advertisements, games and movies that can be displayed on a website.
