Flash Websites Flash Intros
Flash websites are some of the most visually pleasing websites on the World Wide Web. The sky is nearly the limit when it comes to what can be created with Flash. Snappy flash intros, when done well, can really pull the viewer into the content, creating a dramatic atmosphere. But as with anything in life, there is a tradeoff…Flash sites cannot be read by Search Engines, and have the rankings (lack thereof), to prove it.
Are we saying that Flash has no place on the web, or in your company’s arsenal of Internet marketing tactics—no, not exactly. If you have more than one website, one should be a custom Flash website. Adding a satellite Flash website to your arsenal is a great way to participate in some high quality, low cost Internet marketing. However, if you do not have, or do not intend to have more than one website, then you should use something other than flash (HTML, PHP, etc.) so that you will be ranked in the SERPS.
Low Cost Internet Marketing Custom Flash Websites
Flash intros, and flash websites with fancy images and animation should be limited to presentation sites only. A “presentation” site is a site designed to showcase your products and services only. These are sites that you will use as a virtual sales pitch to your customers, or as a quick way to show potential investors, and in some case vendors, what your company does to make a profit.
As we stated previously, Custom Flash websites will not achieve any search engine optimization goals (rankings on the Search Engine Results Pages—SERPS), so they should not be used for such purposes—so we will only use them to “show off”—which is a good idea, and the proper way to use Flash to make your company shine. Now lets talk about how to do it.
Criddle and Company can build a flash presentation website for your company and create custom images of your products, services, and employees in action. Using Flash, and the custom or stock images that we will put on the flash website, we will create a presentation that will dazzle your potential clients, and leave you with a lasting impression—that you never knew that your products and services could look that good. Does this sound like showing off to you? It is. But it’s not bragging if you can back it up, and in today’s world of literally thousands of choices, you must make an impression the very first time that potential buyers see your site.
If you are lucky enough to have secured a conference call with a potential buyer, you have about three minutes—not five—three minutes to knock the socks off of this client with your presentation (Flash) site, or he or she will lose interest. Once the interest is lost, it’s lost for good. It pays to invest time and money in a well designed, well executed, presentation site. When you get the client to show up and give your company a chance, don’t give them the option to leave!
