I'm not a big fan of Flash-only sites, unless you care nothing for
SEO, then anything goes. If you need SEO, you can balance excitement
and SEO successfully. No kidding...
...I have to agree here. Flash has a place, not every place.
Thank you Cole, I was hoping you'd respond to this question since I know
you would have some good stuff to say about Flash. Flash definitely has
a place. I might use it less than some, but I'll use it when the need
arises. I appreciate your counterpoints for Flash.
Um, no, this is old news. Flash Player 8 is already 98% penetration
and Player 9 is already at 90 and growing fast. Any idiot turning off
Javascript in today's AJAX-happy world, should not be allowed to use
the browser anymore. Yes, reallly.
Sometimes I need to use a text-based browser on a text-only FreeBSD web
server to download software, patches, or for a quick look at a page
without having to load my GUI based browser. In that one case I see a
need for a no JS interface. Too few sites account for that need. I
don't think Lynx supports JS, but I could be wrong...
Unless you are a jaded Linux guy (as I feel compelled to allow this
exception), if you don't have Flash, again, you should be banned from
the internet completely. You dweeb.
Or... perhaps... unless you are using Lynx from an OS without a GUI.
I don't think you have a major SEO "problem" with this site either.
The Product and 7 Reasons pages are rich in text content. The nice
Flash at the top is great. The navigation is not a big issue as far as
pure SEO, because you have it in the footer. I'd take the time to do
the things Sheri Bigelow mentioned in her presentation this summmer,
and you should be fine.
Was this ever made available via mp3 or oog? I missed this meeting, but
was interested in it. Is there a text-based outline or even a
Flash-based slideshow...
Use Flash. Use it wisely. The image produced on this site is pretty
good, actually. It would be a shame to lose it.
