I'm getting the feeling that the ultimate web site design for some of you would be a single, blank, what page. 😉
I guess it's part of this I don't need a meter in my camera thing. Come on, embrace the technology.
What we want is a site that ALL visitors can use without downloading software, that doesn't hide our work from search engines, that isn't slow as hell and requires our visitors to have the fastest internet connection to use, and allows fast easy navigation. Flash fails miserably on all those counts. If you want a flashy pretty site and don't care about anything else, fine, flash rules. If you want to actually earn a living as a photographer, then flash is the very last technology you should even consider. I tell my clients this every single time one asks me about flash. I show them examples and explain how google works. They realize I'm right, which I should be. A web designer who doesn't truthfully explain to his clients what the different technologies can actually do and not do is cheating them.
