Adobe Flash is popular among designers and creators working with animations and media. Source code is secured and interactivity is guaranteed. Through incorporating Flash, the customized website will be lightened up by mobile and interactive components. But believe it or not, there are a number of drawbacks to this amazing software. We would recommend that you do not use Flash for the site’s menu, nor should you use it for the whole website.
It Is Not Search-Engine-Friendly Enough: Only if developers include many steps in extra during configuration of the flash movies will Google and Yahoo search engine be able to read the Flash files. Other than that, there are restrictions in which links can the search engines crawl or index. The engines may not be able to pick up the text contained in the flash, lowering the probability for your potential customers to reach you. However, Google keeps on to suggest using Flash.
Immobility: In this society where we are highly mobilized (around 4.1 cellulars in 2008), it is disappointing when we cannot browse some information using mobile phones and iPhones just because we do not have Flash installed as Flash is not designed for mobile phones, or even iPhones as Apple has not yet got into cooperation with Adobe.
Lacking the Support For Maintaining Cross Platform: inserting Flash is not as easy as adding a HTML tags to a document. Some browsers need JavaScript support to load the page. There are many peculiarities that you will find when integrating elements of Flash into your website.
Flash Player Required: If you want to view Flash animations, you need to download the Flash Player from the Adobe website. However, you still can choose not to download it. Since it is not necessary, Flash Player is not a potentially valuable on your site.
Difficulty To Access: People who have vision impairments or who are using text reader without MAJOR modifications cannot access Adobe Flash. Without modifications, Flash sites cannot be read. Flash is not Section 508 Compliant which most government and higher education websites are equipped with.
High Cost: Flash is not a cheap software, it costs $700. There are many additional costs like those for maintenance and for updates. These create a huge fortune for small enterprises and web developers. HTML is a much better choice in terms of cost.
Flash does help in many situations, but it is of importance to know its limitation when you want to utilize it to build your websites or when you are selecting a web developer.
