Web Development in Hampshire

There are some disadvantages of using full flash in a web site that few Web Development Hampshire companies have detected when using different tools to build websites, not matter for what type of site it is about to build, but there always will be some disadvantages that we may be alert before choosing for building a flash website for our business:

Web Development Hampshire companies qualify Macromedia Flash as a tremendous program, which allows animations, transitions, integrate video and audio with stunning visual effects. Therefore its use is highly recommended to highlight graphics within the site, to incorporate multimedia elements, making banners and more.

The problem is when we want our website be completely designed in flash, because although you gain all the elements mentioned above, we lost in many aspects that can make a site successful or not, among which include:

Positioning and indexing by search engines

The bots or spider of the search engines index the contents of only a few flash files, a fraction, and under no circumstances may differ relevant texts (labels h, b, alt, etc.)..

Nor is it possible to optimize each page of the site to various search criteria, and which for purposes of searching our site will be composed only of a page and note that the search engines also consider the number of pages that make up a site.

Browser control

The user completely lose control in navigating the website, making it impossible to use the buttons "Back" and "Forward". This could be very annoying for people who are used to use these buttons.

Access statistics

With websites designed completely in flash is not possible to differentiate when a visitor navigates a page or another and therefore, these will not give us much information.

Update

Web sites designed completely in flash are more complex to update than a website in html and there is a serious problem with the cache files stored on the computer.

Support plug-in

Although the Flash plug-in is built into most browsers, not necessarily the visitor to our website has given the correct plug-in to view the website. This can be a nuisance and therefore may lose audience to your website and therefore possible customers if you are selling any product or offering a service.

Accessibility:

Unfortunately flash does not allow you to design pages accessible to disabled people, ignoring several features that browsers provide to help and it is impossible to use html tags designed for that.

Other factors such as printing, fonts, etc. can be added to this list of drawbacks.
