Occasionally we get people wanting us to work in Flash. While we are able to do the work, we discourage our clients from using it in most situations.
Flash is bad for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
While Google is working on listing Flash-based websites in their engine, it is still somewhat “iffy”. Further, the reality is that many of the best techniques used for SEO simply cannot work with a flash site.
Flash is usually bad for User Interface (UI)
While it can be cool, Flash usually deviates from the best User Interface principles, in favor of what the designer wants. This is never good.
Flash is not supported by most mobile platforms
Most experts predict that mobile platforms will occupy a significant portion of the internet browsing in the near future. Currently, Flash is not supported on many of those mobile devices, including the iPhone and Blackberry. Basically, developing a site in Flash ensures that you are not thinking for the future.
