How will incorporating Flash help my website?
Incorporating Flash animation, if done well, can be a great asset to your website to help attract new visitors. Today, users hardly have the patience for sitting through dramatic Flash introductions or flashy animated "splash screens" where they have to click through to see even the slightest hint of valuable information. Over the top animation or constant sound effects and background music do nothing for your visitor except distract them from the message you're sending and the resources you've made available.
However, incorporating simple Flash banners or an interactive resources can provide an enhanced user experience for your visitors. Flash can be a great tool for a few animated lines of text or photos to point the user in the right direction or highlight a new feature on the website. Use it effectively and you can increase visitor retention, customer loyalty and lead generation.
