Add something extra to the pages of your web site
During the initial consultation stages with a client, a fish in sea often hear the comment, 'we don't want any flash on our web site'.
a fish in sea see a web project as reaching a solution that meets all of the criteria that the client requires. The interactive design and programming team identify what technologies will best achieve that solution, but not identify a technology as it is trendy at the time and make it fit into the solution.
Flash design can be anything from a complete web site to a small area of animation, full character work to using the technology as part of an integrated solution. Indeed, sometimes flash design can be truly awe inspiring, at others the mark of good flash design is when it is not noticable at all.
Flash design can be many different things, including:
- flash games
these can be used as stand alone games to promote marketing drives or as SEO (search engine optimisation techniques) - banners
instead of having a static image,building these in flash can allow you to convey many messages to the user about your services or products in a small space - stand alone applications
such things like dvd menus with complicated animations or transitions, area maps, etc...something that you may want to send out via post or email marketing - full flash websites
for a lot of clients a corporate image is the opposite of what they require, but with a flash web site they can have sound, animation, video, transitions, etc, that would not be easy, or impossible, to do in with any other technology - viral marketing
this has become a very succesful marketing technique when done correctly and flash allows clients to really create something unique and memorable - web site calls to action
a client may just want to make a certain area or service of their site more eyecatching with some subtle animation which can be created in flash and with a small and manageable file size
