Nathan Grimes Design Goes Flash-Free on Website Design

Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Many website designers are joining the movement to stop using Flash in their website design.

Unofficially, designers have avoided Flash for years. Nathan Grimes Design hasn't provided any website design in Flash since 2002 and has since always encouraged clients to avoid it as much as possible.

Flash makes websites slow, hard to maintain, frustrating for users, and it's bad for search engine optimization (SEO). If annoying your customers and tanking your search results isn't bad enough, companies now also have to consider the growing trend of people using the iPad to visit websites.

Apple has announced it will not support Flash on its products because of the outdated technology. It is buggy, full of security holes, and all things considered, there usually is no point in using Flash.

Website designers who want a sleek interactive user experience can now turn to excellent Javascript technology, as well as advancements with HTML5 and CSS3.

The bottom line is usability. Nathan Grimes Design wants to use the smartest, most innovative options for website design, while making sure that the website displays nicely on all major devices and computers. By avoiding the use of Flash, we can make that claim with confidence.
