Flash can be such an amazing asset to a site. For the most part, it is just that, an asset. I do believe that there are some exceptions to the Flash as an asset thought, however.

Yesterday, I conversed with a professional photographer. In the past I have felt frustration over not knowing a professional photographer to assist website customers with their photography needs. The photographer’s work if fantastic, but he needs a website to compliment his talent. He told me about a fantastic idea he has for a Flash intro. It is a fantastic idea! He is also thinking about having the entire site put into Flash. Normally, I would say no way, but not this time. I believe a photographer’s website will be just fine put into Flash. Putting this type of site into Flash my also help detour image thieving. Images can be quite a weight on the site load time as well. Placing the site into Flash can help reduce the site load time. Photography sites also just are not about content, they are showcases.

So, to all the photographers out there my ‘Flashing Opinion’ is flash it up!
