first blog:new blog: complete flash website problems

Let's keep it professional, ok? This is my first blog on this new blog, so we'll start things off right.

Though I have plenty of funny little comments on life, and you'll definitely get to read them, I want to keep each blog useful, with some information that you can use.

So what do I do? independent video, graphic designing and websites.

Why am I an expert? I'm not. But the difference between an amatuer and a professional is the professional doesn't give up.


I've most recently come across the issue of complete flash web design and it's follies. They say that web search crawlers can't read the text in a flash movie, and because of that, your company isn't going to be on the first page of google. Granted, it takes more than just some nice content in an html page to get first place, and I hear meta tags are outdated: though most websites still use them.

So the best remedy I have for people out there like me that do everything in flash because it is OWESOME: make your index page a normal html file that explains alot about the comany, and have the one link at the bottom be "ENTER SITE"

It will look cool, it will generate all the content your client wants to have search-able, and you can even throw other pages that are just info related onto the server that will be read by the search engines to help boost it's search rank.

But all in all, I design websites, I don't market them. That's a whole different ball game that I don't play.
