What are the disadvantages of Flash?

• Download time is longer due to the bulkier file with Flash that needs to be downloaded. Your visitors must be patient especially on dial-up internet connections

• websites built entirely in Flash a risky business prospect for a new or small company who is looking to grow their online presence through the search engines

• A site built entirely in Flash will have difficulty in achieving a high search engine ranking - even with search engine optimisation

• Every Flash website requires a plugin to view it. Even with the generous 85% estimation, that's still 15% of potential customers who will not be able to view the site without downloading the plugin

• Some people will immediately decide not to stay on the site at the slightest glimpse of a loading bar or a intro animation.

• A Flash introduction is a little movie that is placed on your website's home page, containing stimulating graphics or animation.

• Flash intro pages are used to give a stunning first impression to visitors of your website. You never get a second chance to make a first impression - and first impressions can make a difference.  That is why it's important to take the same care and effort with the design of an flash intro page as you do with the rest of your site.
