\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what your Flash website looks like on an iPad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I’m amazed how tech savvy the construction industry is in the field, yet so many construction companies still utilize Adobe Flash\u00ae on their websites. What is Flash? It is a program that creates animations and special effects on websites. Sounds cool, but it has numerous problems.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Flash is NOT searchable –<\/strong> Today’s business world is online. If you need something, you search for it. Your prospective clients are searching the web, and they will not find you if you have a Flash website. You might not think you can get business from your website \u2013 you can and your competition won’t tell you otherwise.<\/li>\n
  2. Flash if DIFFICULT to update –<\/strong> Working in Flash is like working on a feature film. It is big, robust, and the smallest changes are difficult to make. They are nearly impossible without the original files too. If you have a rift with your web developer that is using Flash, you won’t be able to update your website without redoing the entire thing.<\/li>\n
  3. You have BETTER options than Flash<\/strong> – Yes, Flash makes cool effects, but we can do nearly all of them using newer techniques (HTML5, CSS3, & Parallax to be specific). These techniques are faster to load, easier to update, and are mobile friendly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Get with the times and update your website so you can get business online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
