Flash Animation - gimmick or necessity?
Some say that using Flash animation is too gimmicky to be
effective online. While this might be true in some applications, Web
City Designers has the ability to help you make it work for your
website. Seamlessly integrated into your web site, you’ll find that
Flash animation can add to the overall visitor’s experience,
thereby making a lasting impression.
But it has to be done properly!
Don’t think for a second that making your visitors wait five minutes
for your logo to dance across the screen is going to boost their
perception of your business. Flash animation needs to be
controlled. It needs to integrate with your website in such a way
that it isn’t invasive. Some ideas might include logo enhancement,
rollover buttons, topic headers, and more.
It really comes down to the kind of website and image you hope to
convey, and the rule of thumb is simple. If Flash animation
doesn’t enhance the buying or visiting experience then you shouldn't
be using it! For web sites that are focused on entertainment then it
can certainly be a viable marketing tool. But if your website is
selling a product or service then you don’t need to worry so much
about dazzling the senses…you need to concentrate on your message.
If you want to use Flash animation on your web site then let
Web City Designers
handle everything from concept to implementation. We’ll make sure
that the Flash animation is done in such a way that it
complements the online experience rather than detracts from it.
We’ll provide upscale animation and programming so that your
visitors are better off for having viewed it.

programming we’ve done projects of all shapes and sizes...from

or just a more entertaining online experience, we have the talent

Our expertise and streamlined methods ensure that you can go to
market faster and for far less money than you would expect. Best of
all, you can count on our consultation throughout the process so
that you can be sure the efforts will be beneficial in the long term
and optimized for peak performance. After all, if the Flash
animation takes too long to load in relation to the reward then you
risk website abandonment.
Be careful of Flash-mills that churn out Flash templates and
elements for use by anyone with a web site. If the style conflicts
with your own then you risk the desired impact. Our designers can
work with you to make sure that you are maximizing the overall user
experience so that its use bolsters your online position.
