#18 of all Web Designers Still Design All Flash Web Sites

Visit most web sites and find that almost half of them are still all Flash and no HTML. This web design practice poses a serious problem with search engines lke Google and Yahoo.

It is true that most web designers love Flash and Flash makes a great looking web site with smooth animated graphics and interactivity, but it is still bad for search engine ranking positioning.

Most web sites are now turning to a simple HTML look like Craigs List, Google, and other plain text web sites. Although these web sites do not look as professional as all-Flash web sites, they gain higher Google and Yahoo rankings. This is the tradeoff.

So, what I do in this case it create an all Flash site with a similar all-HTML site and this is what you need to do if you have all Flash site. If you have a very high traffic web site from offline marketing, then this is fine, but most web sites do not have this content.
