Thinking of Building a Flash Site?

Two words – PLEASE DON’T!!!!
Flash is known to be more difficult to optimize for search engines
because a lot of the content is basically invisible to search engines–
there are ways to do it, but it’s just so much easier if you can avoid it
altogether. And if you are a one-person company or doing things
mostly under your own steam, you’ll find it much easier to make
changes to the optimization of your site without Flash, unless you
happen to be a proficient Flash developer.
Using elements of Flash for navigation or small design enhancements
is fine, but I strongly advise against basing your whole site on it, not
only for the sake of SEO but also because, typically unless it’s
extremely well-executed, Flash provides a poorer user experience
overall for a typical (business) site (in my opinion).
