Flash Websites & Search Engine Optimization
One major question is about the use of Flash in web design and SEO. Most marketers think that flash can’t be used and it kills SEO. Well, that only a half truth. You can have a site with a flash lay over that is super duper SEO’d.
Making a flash site that is SEO friendly is not difficult - for someone who knows what they are doing. It takes a time and it takes effort. If you want use Flash, you must use JavaScript to progressively load the Flash content for search engines to index the contents of the Flash files; you must separate content from presentation and behavior.
There are many coding languages, but which one is best is is dependent on the site and its purpose. Just because Flash is COOL, doesn’t mean its better.
You have to think about what the goal of site, what is it supposed to communicate? What is message? Does it fit the medium?
